NICU Day #40 of 127I am feeling better now. I guess I was getting too much food, and my body couldn’t process it fast enough. So the doctors have decreased the amount of food they give me. Mommy and daddy met with the doctor today to talk about my progress and expectations. They think I will be home for Christmas! Preemies usually go home around their due date, so maybe just 6 more weeks to go! It’s very exciting.
The biggest obstacle is that I need to learn to drink from a bottle. I tried it today but it didn’t go well. I can’t remember to breathe when I have the bottle in my mouth which makes the alarms go off which in turn scares me and then I cough and the milk gets inside my lungs which makes me worse. They said that we’d try again in a few days. I’m going to concentrate all of my energy on learning to drink from the bottle so that I can go home soon.
