News

It seems the tube feeding is having the desired effect. We had a couple of successful bottle feedings today. Not only did he put away his food but we also had no oxygen drops during feeding. That would indicate better suck-swallow-breathe coordination (I bet you take yours for granted every time you eat, don't you!?)

Admittedly, it seems a bit odd to tube feed him to improve bottling but you've got to do what you've got to do, right?!

We had another brain ultrasound today (I think the fourth but they start to blur a bit). Like the previous ones it came back good!

We also had another eye exam today (also the fourth). His eyes are 80% developed and so far no complications!
