Tyler: He is bottle feeding now! Usually they let a baby feed with a bottle twice a day for a while, every other feeding for a while, and then every feeding if he does well. You should know that a Britt boy is going to do well at eating! Tyler surprised everyone when he sucked down a bottle in 15 minutes rather than the usual 30-45 minutes. He drank a bottle twice a day for one day, every other feeding for one day, and now he's eating every time from the bottle. And we gave him his first bath the other day! He loved it.
Now for the not so good news:
Taylor: He is still doing good. The doctor says he is doing normal things and needing normal things done. So he was sick with an infection, and that's over now. But do you see how chunky the boy is? It's fluid that was seeping into his lungs and swelling him up...he has a heart murmur that is seeming not to be closing up on its own, and he has a low blood count that required a blood transfusion yesterday. They gave him lasix for the fluid, and he's had really wet diapers. Good sign. And the heart murmur...they're going to "wait it out." Again, the doc said these were normal preemie things and that Tyler's just odd for not having to go through the same things. That's what I keep reminding myself anyway.
