I think Joshua has turned a corner. The Food Fairy must have visited last night because 5 out of the last 7 feeds have been full feeds (i.e. no need for the NG tube). That's a huge improvement! He is still pretty inconsistent, though, so the doctor said she thinks it will be 2-3 weeks until he comes home. We'll see about that.
Last night he gained 50 grams, up to 2550 g or 5 lbs 10 oz. They stopped the MCT oil (liquid French fries), so hopefully his gas will improve a little.
Well, the baby in the room next door to Joshua went home yesterday, and another one moved in soon after her left and will be going home tomorrow. That's the 10th neighbor we've had in that room since we moved in. I think I have the mandatory pre-discharge educational videos memorized from hearing them so many times. One of these days it'll be us...
He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. Acts 1:7
So encouraged to hear this update! Hang in there - it will be your turn soon!
