Hi everyone! Not much to report today. We did get the doctors convinced that we weren't totally crazy...at least we have convinced someone! Anyway...we were allowed to feed him strictly from the bottle today. He has done okay with it. For some reason he did not wake up as often as he has on other days during the day. Normally he has a lot of awake time during the day and sleeps a lot at night. He woke up around 6:30 tonight and took 1 ounce in 10 minutes!!! That is amazing for him! He normally won't eat that fast. But he did do his usual...eat for 10-20 minutes and then fall asleep. So, what we were hoping would be a very successful feeding, turned into only a successful feeding. As I type, Nick is making one last attempt before they start feeding him through the tube all night. So thus far, he has had 103 mLs from the bottle today. I think we are both happy with that. I was fearful that he wouldn't even come close to the 100 mark with how slow he started today.
Our high note of the day is that he got to put REAL clothes on!! I happened to bring a couple sleepers that snap and we were able to put one on today. His wires can be thread between the snaps! It was nice to see him in something other than the green hospital blanket!
Grandma and Grandpa Bausman came today and Aunt Megan returned with our laundry!
