By the way, this is Matthew's feeding machine. Since he won't eat by mouth, this machine has proved invaluable. The thought of pouring three more cans of formula a day down Matthew's tube while he's awake would likely drive Terri insane. When you figure he can only handle 2 ounces at a time without retching, that would amount to 16 feedings per day! While a treasure in its' own right, we long for the day when we no longer have to use it. He's been fed overnight for 19 months now.

I am praying for the day he will eat!!

Matthew loves to play with the electrical plugs. Ha Ha So it does have its charm.
Ughh, I can't imagine how hard it must be that your boy won't eat. Thank goodness you live in a time and place where such technology exists to keep Matthew nourished. Do the docs have any guesses on how long he might have such a disinterest in food?
