Hospital fatigue is finally hitting us and we are desperate to get our boy home! Suck or Starve is what the good doctor calls the next tactic. It's all about getting little boys with double chins to drink on their own without a tube down their noses. We've pretty much jumped the weight and breathing hurdles - feeding remains the issue. With the tube in he continues to grow nicely - around 2.4kgs currently - which is excellent news on the infection protection front. He's getting the hang of feeding, but it's slow going. So on Monday the tube comes out for 48 hours to help kickstart him into feeding without it.
I often look back over these posts and past months and reflect on how many prayers have been answered. OK so we're still in NICU but we have a little boy who is alive and made in the image of his Creator. We're so grateful to God for Sam and for you, the spiritual, physical and emotional rocks upon which we stand. Please pray that our boy learns how to suck the bottle. or better still the boob!
