Accelaration

I'm at a bit of a loss right now to explain quite how I feel, so let me sum it up with a brief explanation of the important stuff...

Dylan finished off another full 39cc bottle while Barba and I were there. We watched his nurse feed him to pick up on the finer points of feeding a preemie that doesn't quite have it all figured out yet.

He spent the day with the top of his isolette open, so essentially, he was in an open basinette with the option to close it and warm him quickly if necessary.

After we left, he finished off another bottle, or all of it but 2cc (close enough in my book).

And, oh yeah, he has been moved to a full-time open basinette.

Dylan is maintaining his body temp. He is eating from a bottle. He is not having significant bradychardia or apneas...

This adds up to Dylan coming home sooner, rather than later- provided he can keep this up for a little while.

I'm not going to try and guess exactly when he will be coming home, but this is all very encouraging news. If things continue at this pace, and he does not run into further complications, it could be soon!

Woooooo Hooooo!
