Candace was sweet to email me and let me know the whole scoop on what we're praying for...I was confused too as the day before I thought he was eating enough...so here's a more detailed understanding:
There is one small correction to this email....as far as Quinn's feeding tube goes, he is tolerating his food (liquid Pediasure with fiber) quite well. He is at the maximum amount for his body weight and it is all being absorbed into his digestive system. The feeding tube right now goes through his nose into his stomach. If Quinn does not get his swallow reflex back in the next few days, the doctor will take the feeding tube out of his nose, and put it directly into his stomach through a little hole is his abdomen. This is more of a long term way for Quinn to receive his Pediasure.
I obviously do not want this for Quinn as I can not wait to give him a bottle for the first time. And I'm quite sure he misses his chocolate ice cream, his favorite.! I am praying for Quinn's swallow reflex to come back soon!
Thanks for praying! Looking forward to a chocolate ice cream party in the future with Quinn!

Just wanted to let you all know that Quinn is being prayed for here in England! He is on the prayer list at Candace and Patrick's old church here St Georges. He is named in prayers three tims a day and is in our thoughts even more. Father Michael wanted me to pass on just how many people remembered the Kelly family and are all sending all their best thoughts and prayers over the sea. I love reading your blog as it is hard to keep in touch with the time difference so please keep writing - it is so appreciated. Many thanks and God Bless Saskia xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
p.s. what an amazing family to have generated this kind of love!!!!!
