Grandma came to visit Alex last night. She even helped change a poopy diaper! The are changing up his feeding plan a little bit today. Same idea but a little different approach. He is allowed to eat anytime he wants every 2-4 hours and he can eat as much as he wants.....but he has to eat at least 120 ml in a 12 hour period. If he doesn't wake up on his own in 4 hours then I have to wake him up.....but of course if he is just too tired and won't wake up to eat....he is still tube fed. I don't think the 120 ml is enough to get him home....the nurse said that would just sustain him....not let him gain weight....but anything that he eats over that is bonus! We just started it so I will let you all know how it goes. He has nippled by bottle for all 3 feeding since 9 am and has already eaten 115 ml so far so good. We will see if he can keep it up. Still 2 more feeding there abouts to go before the end of the first 12 hours.
