Toby is having a very good day. We are back to the same feeding methods he's been doing at home: tube feeds every three hours and two bottles a day. They've even increased the volume slightly to about 3 1/3 ounces per serving. And he is looking good. The doctors continue to say that we will go home "maybe tomorrow". They are talking to the surgeons first and trying to make sure everything is in line for that. Additionally, Toby needs to be gaining weight properly again. He is not yet back up to his weight at admitting- which was actually down significantly from his discharge weight two days previously. Basically, if he is going to go home to wait for surgery, they need to know that he can do well in the interim.
