So, for about 4 months, Jason and I have been going back and forth about the Magic Bullet and Baby Bullet. We have been pricing it, researching it, and just trying to decide if we should make the investment. It's about $60. I'd hate to make that purchase and then just watch the box sit in my cupboard. The reason for a Magic Bullet? To blend our food so Jackson can eat it. We are trying to get him to eat creamy foods to learn how to swallow. Go figure, my mom has a Magic Bullet-like device just sitting in the closet. It is brand new. Never used.
We brought it home and I tried it out. Last night we ate pot roast. What better than a savory meal for the first blenderized experience.

| Yah, it really did look that nasty! |

| I made sure to add ketchup! |
Jackson did ok. He tasted it. I sort-of forced some in his mouth a couple of times. He pushed it out! "Yuck!" He may have changed his mind though. He licked the spoon, stuck his finger in it, and licked off his finger. Of course, the ketchup mixed with the pot roast. That's how we eat it! Why not Jack!

Do you remember my past posts about a little boy named Colton? He also has CFC Syndrome. Colton recently had to get a Tracheostomy because of troublesome breathing problems, as well as numerous seizures that may have been linked to lack of oxygen to the brain. Colton is now on life support.He is finally thriving. It is sad that he must go through this to thrive, but a blessing that he is finally gaining weight. He has a new baby brother, born just a short while ago. His parents are now working on getting a specialized nurse to care for Colton so they can bring him home. Pray for Colton and his family.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, to a wonderful woman. Sadly, her husband recently passed away. He had cancer. He shared the same birthday as Jackson. There are also many other connections to our family with other birthdays.She asked for Memorials to Cancer Care Specialists of Central Illinois or CFC International. She is near and dear to our heart. Because of this, we now have $300 to donate to CFC International. Thank you, from the bottom of our heart.

Steve likes chicken nuggets ground up in the Magic Bullet with BBQ sauce! --- Having the Magic Bullet has helped us try a wider variety of foods with Steve. We've also been able to experiment with different textures. (He is very picky if foods are too lumpy.) There are times that we have to remind ourselves to use the bullet more. Some days it's just easier to grab a jar of baby food. We just take it one day at a time. You guys are doing great!!!
Yeah! Sounds like progress! We use our Magic Bullet all the time for Ethan as well. So glad to consider you and Jackson our freinds!
