Johnny's feedings have been increased to 30ccs now, that's an entire ounce at each feeding. He took his first ounce-feeding this morning during our visit. Daddy got to bottle-feed him! He took it all and even had energy left over afterwards to look at us and move around! The Nurse Practitioner talked to us while we were there too. She said she doesn't think he'll be ready to come for Christmas but she did make it seem like even if he doesn't make it home by Christmas that it won't be long after. I think they said he's up to three of his feedings being nipple-feedings now too. He also gets his IV removed today. No more fluids. Although, they want to give him some formula with calories in it, and they said they'll probably send him home with calorie formula too. I guess that means he doesn't get to be breast-fed only. We'll see. We got to put an outfit on him today and he looks so cute!
I also saw my DR today. I got a small prescription for some more pain-killers. I am in so much pain. I was also ordered to rest and take it easy. Apparently I've been doing way too much. My DR also thinks I'm depressed. My husband chimed in to state that I'm just in a lot of pain, not depressed. I really wish my husband would quit diagnosing me. I'm wondering if the DR is right. Who knows. All I know is that the pain is no joke, I thought everything was cool, until I ran out of drugs! Ugh.
