Alex does.... finally! He has been begging for it. They have been doing small amounts at a time, which is good for his belly, but a big tease for him. He slurps it down faster than you can blink an eye. The second helping he got, he looked at the bottle and started to cry, "I want it full". The third bottle he got twice as much in and still drank it just as fast as the others. He just asked for another one and raised his arm up in the air and said "I want this much milk". Pretty sure we could just put a straw in the gallon and let him go.
So far he's holding it all down. We hope that continues. He will keep advancing and hopefully try some food soon.
He didn't want to sit in the chair, but was ok to sit up in bed. He has been sitting up in bed, sleeping off and on for about an hour now. Baby steps. I know getting up in the chair is good for him, but sitting in bed is also very beneficial too. With his last 2 surgeries, the first 48 hours are his sleepy, adjusting time, then after that he seems to pick up quickly. We are praying that he will do the same for this one.
I'll try to post tonight, until then here's more pics of Alex:
