Making Progress

So, Liam is still off the oxygen, still off the blue light, and he's starting to make progress eating on his own. They bumped him to 30cc's of milk (about one ounce). Before he leaves he needs to be taking 40cc's by mouth (rather than feeding tube). Today at 10am, he took 15cc's by bottle, the rest by feeding tube. As he figures out the bottle and the breast he'll take more and more...once he's got his feeding sorted out, he'll be almost home!

Lots of hiccups today...it is probably too soon for my solution of a spoonful of sugar (not just for helping medicine go down anymore!)

We'll probably post some more pictures later tonight or tomorrow!

Terry, I am so happy that you stayed with Liam while Erin came to her shower. The shower was great and very nice to see Erin. Liam has lots of new presents that you and Erin will love and Laim will get much use out of all of them. Some right now and others later. Keep up the good work Liam, Erin and Terry. Love you all.
