My days are mostly filled with eating and sleeping right now.  Mom says that I'm a great baby because I don't poop, don't have to be burped and she doesn't have to keep track of how much I eat.

Now that I've been put on the waiting list for organs I just need to grow a little more and listen for the cell phone to ring.  Once we get "the call" we'll be headed to UCLA medical center for the next chapter in our journey.

We all appreciate all of the support of our family, friends, Fisher & Phillips family and St. Thomas More family since I've been born.  Mom and Dad say they couldn't have done it without you all!

I love my bottle!

I don't get any nutrition from my formula but I love my bottles anyway.  The doctors think it's great that I love them so much.  It will help me when I finally get my new intestine.
