Brief Update

I have to be brief because it's late and I'm worn out but here are the important bits of info for all you Dylan watchers out there...

His weight is up to 2586g or 5 lbs, 11 oz.

He is receiving 48cc of breastmilk with each feeding.

Also, since 6am Saturday moring, he has been feeding exclusively by bottle. His feeding tube has been removed.

This is very encouraging news. It's just more steps in the right direction.

I plan on getting in touch with either Dylan's doctor or nurse practicioner tomorrow to get their opinion on his progress and what it means in terms of his discharge, as well as any other "tests" he may need to pass before he can be sent home.

Anyway, that's all for now. I'll try to post something a bit more detailed tomorrow.

Dylan is doing super!! Hope Mom & Dad are, too! Take time to breathe. It won't be long before the Lil Man is home and settled in and then life will be grand!!
