Dr. Weinthal was pleased that Cutler’s WBC was 2100 today, despite not having neupogen for some time now. The plan is for the feeding tube to be inserted on Tuesday at 11:30, with the possibility of coming home on Friday. Unfortunately, Cutler still is refusing to drink from the bottle no matter what we entice him with! We’ve tried formula, apple juice, banana yogurt juice, chocolate and strawberry Pediasure…you name it, we’ve tried. We’ve also exhausted every type of bottle, nipple, sippy cup, etc. I’m telling you, he is refusing to cooperate! Stubborn, just like his daddy.
Attached is a video of Cutler’s newest trick.
And yes, I strapped the booster seat to the chair!
And although we said goodbye to Nana yesterday, we welcome Grammy back from NY!

Me and my mom laughed at Cutler’s new trick. It looks like he is doing great and i hope to see him soon (hopefully at his home).

I hate to admit it, but maybe Cutler does get his tendency to be stubborn from the Fricke side of the family. However, I don’t remenber any other Fricke men who have been so determined NOT to drink from any kind of bottle!
We will continue our prayers for him to have his surgery on Tuesday go smoothly and for this feeding tube to only be needed for a short time.
Love,
Clumsy

Cutler’s stubbornness has probably gotten him this far. Don’t fight it, it is a good thing. On a side note, have you tried beer? Never known a Fricke to turn down a beer.
