Bottle baby!
Ian is now getting Bottle feeds twice a day. He's getting 15cc at a time (as much as he'll drink of the 15cc that is). He's doing great with no oral aversion, no choking, good suck/swallow reflex. He's 5lb 11oz now!!! He is now jaundice all the time, with a yellow hue to his skin, and a yellowish green hue to the whites of his eyes. This is due to TPN he is on for nutrition. It interferes with liver function and basically causes damage to the liver. Hopefully his next surgery will turn out well and he'll be getting feeds and off tpn after that. I hold him all the time anymore, it's great!
