Our nurse from Sunday was back today and when she saw me this morning she said, “After Sunday, I would have never thought…he had a great night.” Since the 8:00 feeding the night before, Andrew did not have to take any feedings via the nose gavage tube. Of course, he did great with me at the 11:00 feeding and then was just exhausted for the next two feedings. So he had to be fed with the tube. This brings us to the feeding after the shift change and when we got back he had pulled his gavage tube out of his nose. He clearly does not want this in his nose! So he didn’t eat much for the 8:00 feeding…he’ll be starving by the 11:00 tonight. Of course after having a great night, the conversations started about moving to a crib, new room and possibly home within a week. Now this is from the resident who likes to make predictions…but we do know that the light bulb is getting much brighter! Hopefully he won’t have the gavage tube in tomorrow morning and with any luck he won’t need it anymore! One of our friends left the NICU today; someone is expected to leave on Friday and two more on Saturday. Andrew’s turn will be next!
