Just to update. Nicholas is still doing well at home. He continues to grow and develop as he should.

He is increasing his mobility with his muscles and works very hard for his physical therapist. She is helping Nicholas to work out his arm that was broken early in development. He does not rotate his arm palm side up as well as his left arm. He has discovered a use for chew toys and has been playing and gooing them with slobber.

He is also starting his oral therapy to help get him ready for eatting. Nicholas is scheduled for a swallow study to determine his extent of oral issues and to see if his esophagus can withstand food. We are very excited that he will be able to start elementary feedings. Nicholas has also discovered that his thumb makes a better sucking tool than his binki.

Please continue to pray for Nicholas and his situation.

Much love,
Alex, Terah, and Nicholas
