All I have to say is that God is just awesome!! Aydan is improving so fast! He has gone from 9 cc's on Friday to 37 cc's today! That's almost an ounce and a half!! YAY Aydan!!! He's still on the feeding tube, and they normally try the bottle when they hit 33-34 weeks gestational age (which is normally when they get their sucking reflex). The nurse said that he is doing really well with sucking already, though - either his thumb (when he finds it) or a pacifier they give him (to help them learn to suck) - and the doctors may decide to try feeding him with a bottle sooner! So we're hoping that they'll try this week! I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that he will do just as amazing with the bottle! He has proven to be such a determined little fighter (he may look like Michael, but he's got my determination to prove people wrong! ;) haha!).
He is off the IV fluids now, and so is relying soly on breastmilk for nutrients. They will most likely be taking him off the bili ruben light tomorrow, too, because his jaundice levels are continually decreasing!
We are praying that with all the improvements he'll be home before the end of January (like they originally said) and maybe it'll be the first of January! :)
