Toby continues to do well. He is still on the iv nutrition. That will be discontinued tonight. The volume of his drip feeds has been increased to the full amount. This evening we are going to try switching the nj tube back to an ng tube (in the stomach) and see how he does with that. It would be better to go home with an ng that I can place myself rather than an nj which requires x-rays for proper placement. SO, . . .
It IS possible that we will be out of here as soon as tomorrow. It depends on how well he does with the ng feedings. We are planning to go home with a pump and continue the drip feedings for a while. Maybe he will be able to transition back to a more standard intake pattern soon. It is very important right now to get some good growth going. Many things should improve just by getting him bigger. The doctor feels that we're already about two months behind where we would have been without all the ups and downs of the last few months.
Toby definitely feels better but is still fussier than normal. Pray that I will have wisdom as I watch him and try to assess how he is doing. We are in agreement with the doctors that when he goes home this time, we want it to be to stay.
