Now he's just showing off.

The day Bryton was born, was nothing short of terrifying. We didn't have a clue what we were facing. All we knew was that we had to do everything we possibly could to love our son and get him through whatever came our way. And look at him now! We still have good days and not-so-good days, but lately he is just showing off with how awesome and handsome he is! He has been off of the vapo-therm for a few days now and he is doing great on regular nasal cannula. For the last couple of weeks they have been working on his bottle feeding and today they wanted to start bolus feeds- instead of being fed continuously or on for a couple hours and off for a couple hours they were going to start just giving him 3-4 oz every 4 hours and he has actually taken both of his last 2 feeds entirely by bottle so if he keeps this up and keeps making progress there is every chance that they'll be able to take out the feeding tube soon!!! It's hard to try and not get ahead of ourselves but we can't help but be hopeful and start looking forward to having our baby home with us! They haven't given us an actual date yet, but we are really hoping to have him home before Thanksgiving. We wont be able to back up to New York for quite a while, even after he's released from the hospital, but all that matters is having him with us. They say home is where the heart is- then home is going to be right here for a while. And that's just fine with us. So many people take for granted, and even can't stand some of the things that we can't wait for. We are so ready to wake up in the middle of the night to change a dirty diaper! Go Bryton!
