November 29

Trevor's doing great. The OT tried to feed him a bottle yesterday, but he wouldn't wake up enough. He still took 10 ccs. Today, he was wide awake at 11 am and when she came at noon, he took about 40 ccs. We were all shocked! It is the thickened milk, but he didn't have any problems. He just got sleepy so she stopped. I think his feeds are up to 56 ccs which is almost 2 ounces. They stopped the diuretics which was to prevent fluid in his lungs on Friday. He is 6 pounds 11 ounces. We thought he might come home in the next week with the feeding tube, but there is a new doctor for December and he seems to act like we are going to wait until he takes all his feedings by bottles. But the nurse still showed me how to put the feeding tube in so we'll see. We have CPR training Thursday and we have to schedule a time for the car seat test. They make sure it is in the car correctly and will see if he can sit in it for a while and still keep his vitals stable. So we're in the process of getting him ready to come home, just waiting for the okay.
