Did you figure out what they all have in common?

These are all things that have been in Odette's mouth this week!
Some of them have been licked.
Some of them just bit.
Some smashed up and thrown on the floor.
And some of them have been swallowed A LOT!
A LOT as in enough to have....
{drum roll}
NO FEEDING TUBE!

Odette really is a walking (almost talking) miracle.
She is an answer to my prayers.
She shows me your prayers are answered.
The Dr. said to expect December before she would eat anything.
Many said it could be a few years and a G-tube is in her near future.

However,
Many of you have been praying for her to start eating.
AND SHE IS!

Now, there should be no talk of a G-tube.
Not another surgery.
Just more living the normal two-year old life!
Thank you for praying for and having faith in Odette's behalf!
