Hunter Must Be Hungry

Hunter's doing well again. They haven't weighed him yet today (they usually do that at night) but I'll bet he gained weight again. Doctor seems to think that since he's been doing well over the past few days they might as well go for broke, she increased his feedings 2 more ml up to 36 ml. It's getting to a point where he can hardly fit a whole meal in his belly. They must really want him to gain a lot of weight. It's difficult to imagine that by the time he comes home he should be eating double what he's eating now.

On the topic of coming home, Nurse was talking about that today. It's not going to happen any time soon though. She was estimating that if everything goes well he should be home in under four weeks. The time is ticking down fast, four weeks doesn't seem that far away. She started telling us about some of the things we have to be prepared for when he comes home. I'm sure we'll be hearing much more about that as the weeks pass by, but for now it sounds like we still have a lot of preparing to do.

Hunter is still on CPAP and still in his isolette. Doctor made it sound that if he keeps gaining weight she will try him off CPAP again in a few days. Come on Hunter, I know you can do it!
