...gets to stay inside 24 hours a day while the rest of us have to brave these extremely cold temperatures!!
Wyatt has done well these last two days. At today's weigh-in, he is back up to his birthweight and actually surpassed it...by 2 grams. And today, he breastfed three times, and two of those times, nearly completed his feed requirement! The nurses won't gavage him if he gets over a certain amount. He is gagging a lot when they push the tube down his throat, so he would just end up throwing it all up anyway. They add a little bit extra to the other feeds when I'm not there to make up for the small loss. He has also been taking the bottle at other times too.
He has also been waking more at his feeding times, so hopefully this means that his home coming will not be too far off! In order for him to come home, Wyatt needs to have 72 hours without any desats or braddy's and then pass an hour and a half "car seat test"; and he needs to be taking all of his feeds by bottle and/or breast.

and hopefully he does well at the car seat test! When Kiernan was doing hers some other babies were on their 3rd attempt at it..!
Great to hear the improvements!
