Getting closer!

Trey continues to make great/fast progress! Yesterday afternoon he nursed for 30 minutes! We didn't give him any extra in his N-G tube to see how long he stayed content. He made it to his next feeding (3 hours) and took a full bottle. He has taken full bottles at every feeding between then and when I got here today and then nursed for 30 minutes again!

Right now Trey is doing a car seat test. He has to sit in his car seat for 90 minutes without any apnea episodes or drops in his oxygen saturation. This has to be done before he can go home. Ben and I are taking an infant CPR class tomorrow, also something that has to be done before he can go home. The nurse thinks we could go home as early as Monday or Tuesday! He has had a few episodes of bradycardia (low heart rate) while he is feeding so we will probably go home with a monitor. This is common in preemies and he will grow out of it.

I wasn't able to come in this morning because Rhett had a mini preschool session/screening at the preschool where I work in Andover. We are hoping he gets selected as a peer model for their special education preschool for next year. Leah and I had a little girl date while Rhett was at school. We went to Michael's and got a few activities to do. Then we went to Wal-Mart to see of we could find something for Trey to wear home. Bed time the last few nights has been a STRUGGLE. Hopefully a little one-on-one attention will do her some good.

Trey is progressing so fast that I know it can only be because of all the prayers on his behalf. Thank you!
