Math Challenge

10cc = just over 2 teaspoons
25cc = just over 5 teaspoons, or about 1.7 tablespoons

We are excited! Mack took 25cc of food last night (yea, John!) and 26cc of food this morning. And he kept it down!

As I was contemplating just how much progress we've made -- it was a week ago today that the feeding tube was put in place -- I was struck by how little food our dear Mack has actually been living on this week. It's difficult to get into perspective, when it's compressed in the syringe ... but the truth is ... it's not much!

Of course, he's not very big, either.

I just did some math. (Don't roll your eyes ... it happens!)

10 teaspoons of food for Mack is like 4.11 cups of food for me. That's not bad. Very sustainable.

Mack got 90 cc of food yesterday ... about 18 teaspoons. That would be almost 33 cups of food for someone my size.

Also, remember that Mack's food is about 1/3 water. Even so ... that's a lot of food! Yea!
