Hunger Strike

In the week that we've been back since all our crazy vacation/travel ended, Dane has decided he will no longer eat solid foods like the champ he'd been before. Instead of gulping down a whole yogurt for breakfast, he cries and pushes away everything. He's like that at every meal except dinner, which we've been eating while watching Wheel of Fortune. We're not sure if it's just that he's gotten so hungry by not eating all day or that Wheel soothes his anger at food. We've tried everything from different foods to letting him feed himself and the only other thing he'll eat besides milk is baby goldfish crackers. Hmmmm. Man cannot live on goldfish alone. We've talked to the pediatrician who says that if it goes past a week we should call them again, and I've looked at countless baby/mom websites. It seems to be a common problem right around the time kids start to feel more independent, but that doesn't make it any less frustrating. I feel like he's going to starve or be malnourished. Since he's a preemie, I may have some lingering sensitivity to any problems we encounter with him...

On the upside, his (fingers crossed!) last surgery is scheduled for May 12th, so prayers that it goes well and is truly his last would be appreciated.
