Over the past few days the only thing really going on was that the doctors have been working on getting Wesley's feedings up. He needs to be taking all his feedings by bottle before he can come home. Today we walked in and were welcomed with some big changes. We looked in his incubator and NO Oxygen Tube!!! The night doctor decided to take it out to see how he would react. There's always a possibility he'll need to have it put back in but for right now it's gone. The doctor also decided that we'll try putting as much in a bottle as possible and see how much he takes. He'll keep he feeding tube in but just so that they can finish off the feeding that way if he doesn't take it all by bottle. So that's good news. Plus, the nurse told us he now weighs 5lbs, 1oz!!! He's putting on the weight. So now we'll just increase his bottle feedings during the day and see how he reacts to being off the oxygen tube. Hopefully he'll continue doing as well as he has been. We're getting anxious to get him home!!
