Columbia

We are back in Columbia at home! Harrison is doing well overall. His tongue does not seem to bother him at all and for the most part he is back to being himself. EXCEPT for one important thing-EATING!!! He will not eat. We have tried waiting for him to be interested, tried forcing, tried tricking, tried distracting, and tried every different method of delivery that we can think of, but he is pretty much refusing to eat. We can get about 10 oz down him over the corse of a day (less than 1/3 of what he normally eats). He has to relearn how to suck because he was use to using his tongue as his bottom lip. Not to mention the fact that his tongue is still swollen so it probably feels weird. We are convinced that there is a mental block he can't get over and that combined with his strong will makes it hard. Please pray that he would eat soon-that would relieve so much stress. Pictures will come soon!
