30 ml

Yesterday I stood aside as the occupational therapist offered Gabriella a bottle (a syringe with a nipple on it) and watched her eat for the first time in her life by mouth. Words cant not even come close to how amazing this was to see. She ate 5 ml.
Today again I stood aside, and the nurse offered a sleeping Gabriella a bottle. With sleepy eyes I stood and held my breath as she ate 30ml!! Absolutely amazing. I thank God for this amazing opportunity to watch her grow. Just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes. She still has a ways to go-but what a nice step in the right direction! I needed this!
