Landon had a good day today, but we're still at least a few days away from going home. He's eating more than the last few days but is still not taking my mouth what he needs to be. They are making up the difference in the feeding tube at each feeding from what they want him to eat and what he takes. His milk is also being fortified to an even higher calorie count to help him gain weight, which he has not done over the last several days. He did get to nurse a few times today too which went well and he did a great job of getting the hang of it. We'll have to alternate between the bottle and nursing so he can get the fortified milk, but we're glad he's tried and gotten used to both.
We got the pulse oximeter delivered today that we'll take home and were instructed how to use it so we're a step closer to heading home in that sense. Gary was able to go to work today, which also did a few days last week to try and stay caught up and conserve days off for future surgery, etc. His work has been so great to let him take so much time to be with his son in the hospital.
Right now we're just hanging tight for Landon to gain some weight and pick up his eating. We know he'll get there soon!
