75 days old...

Today Noah is 75 days old.  He keeps on growing, today he was 4lbs 9.9oz.  He was able to stop the caffeine that he was getting for apnea spells.  Feeding is his major objective right now.  He is taking his feedings by bottle whenever he is showing signs of wanting it (at his specific feeding times).  Some days he does great and takes most of it by bottle and other days he doesn't seem to really care much.  If he can start eating the majority of his feeds by himself they will pull out the feeding tube and let him eat what he wants, when he wants, and will (hopefully) get to go home soon after that.  He is still on nasal canula for oxygen.  There has been an attempt to give him a little push towards weaning off it. They gave him lasics to help his body rid any extra fluids, which there could be some in his lungs, in hopes that it could help him in needing less oxygen.  It did work to some extent, but he still needs the breathing help.  If he gets the feeding down, the doctors said that he could go home on oxygen, although they would prefer he went home with nothing. We just want him home, however that happens. Wyatt can't wait until Noah comes home, he asks countless times a day "Mommy/Daddy, how Noah can come home?"....so sweet!!  We just hope he is home by his due date/Joe's birthday/Father's Day, which all fall within a couple days of eachother.  We'll keep praying!!
