Today we worked at trying to get William to relearn how to nurse. He would nurse for about a minute and then choke which made me scared and sad. I was sad because William was such a good eater before surgery and would not touch a bottle. I was hoping he would pick it up quickly so that we could bring him home. I was scared because I didn't know if it hurt him to cough when he choked on the milk. Also before surgery William would throw up everything at least once a day because of his acid reflux. I was so nervous of this happening as he was already needed oxygen to help him breath. We had someone come do some oral therapy and she said he didn't have very good sucking skills but suggested some ways to help.
