Faith-manor Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) He has been in the NICU for 3 weeks and 3 days. He has been taking his entire feedings for the last 48 hours by bottle and nursing (he takes roughly an ounce, nursing with a shield and then the rest by bottle) so they are pulling his NG tube. They are testing him in his car seat today and as soon as he can pass that test, he can come home! Yesterday his 7 year old brother, N, went to the hospital and read books to him. It was so sweet! N also took his savings (about $30 ) to the hospital, unbeknownst to his parents, and tried to give it to the nurses as a thank you for taking such good care of his brother. Melted my heart!!! The nurses thanked him but said that he should take it home with him because they are well paid, and his thanks plus seeing T go home is all the gratitude they need. Dd cried. So precious. Little T is soon coming home. Sigh. I think my worry level just dropped exponentially. Edited February 17, 2023 by Faith-manor 33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AroundtheCorner Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Wonderful news! So happy to hear he is doing well! It was such a relief (many years ago) to finally be able to take our preemie home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
