Connor is going great. He is still on nasel canula and they are slowly weaning him off of that. He is up to full feedings, still being fed through a tube, which is being slowly infused over an hour. They don't want to push his feedings because if he starts to not tolerate it they will have to start over from scratch. But so far he is doing well with the feedings. He will probably start bottle feeding this week. He has to learn how to coordinate sucking, swallowing, and breating at the same time. After that I will be able to breastfeed him. I asked the doctor yesterday when he might be able to come home and he said he thought within the next two weeks. So that is exciting news. Last night he weighed 4 lbs. 14 oz.
