Update on Timothy

So Timothy is going to get to try eating again tomorrow (for Halloween!) -- a special formula, called Portagen, which is low on the fats that go through the lymph vessels where the leak is... He will only get to try a tiny bit at first, and slowly get more and more as the days go by, as long as he does okay with it and the fluid doesn't start building up again. Best-case scenario, if he does fine with the feedings as they are slowly increased, he will be up to full feeds on his own (with no IV fluids) in 3 weeks! We are definitely praying that is what happens and that he will not need surgery. That is the plan at this point...


This is just a little video of him to show how fun and interactive he is getting when we talk to him, and how big he is already getting - trying to talk, himself! (He'll be 7 weeks old tomorrow)... We can't believe it! This video is from Oct. 22...
