Its 6:50 Am, and at 9:00 we have officially bottle fed for 24 solid hours. He is doing great. Taking 2 ounces of thickened formula every three hours. He is starting to wake me up now to feed instead of me waking him and force feeding. All this is great news. When the doctor comes around this morning she will read his chart and see that all his feedings went well. THEN- she orders the feeding tube to come out. That's what she said yesterday. I'm not sure if we have to be observed for another 24 hours after the tube is removed, or not. We will see.
Henry has gotten so much more energy through bottle feeding, and all around becoming an older baby. After all- He is a whole 2 Weeks old TODAY!! He also has been much more vocal. He mainly sleeps if he is not getting a diaper change or eating. But- From time to time he will wake up and cry for his pacifier. He loves it.
I don't have much more news for you today- That's great! No news is nice to report these days. OH- I almost forgot- If anyone knows of a speech therapist, let me know. I know that I do someones hair that is, but I'm having a hard time remembering who. So- If your reading, I'm sorry, but I would like to chat about a second opinion on this swallow study. Not that I am trying to take short cuts. I just don't connect well with the therapist/doctor that he is with, and may want to do follow up appointments elsewhere.
Hopefully home is in the near future. I'm still crossing my fingers for today, afternoonish- But i bet its tomorrow. Ive already got the double stroller popped out in the garage ready for walking. I cant wait!!! Josie's birthday is next month and I have some major 1st birthday party planning between now and then. So get your party panties on.. He will be a month and Josie will be a year- That's some serious stuff! ha ha-
Ill update on our discharge later. Wish us luck-----
Love- The Summers
