So our little Sam has turned a corner with the bottle! He has taken one each feeding for more than 24 hours. They began preparing us today that he will likely be home soon! He had to gain weight for 3 consecutive days and not have any difficulty breathing or maintaining his body temp for 7 days. He has done those, so now he just needs to continue on the bottle (no feeing tube) for another couple days. Hoping he'll be home on thursday. I tried to nurse him today & the lactation consultant said he did well for trial #1... We'll keep working on it. Obviously, the main goal is for him to eat plenty, so until then, I'll keep pumping (oh joy... But well worth it)!
