He's eating his bottles better!

Ian is supposed to be eating 70cc every 3 hours. This morning he ate 50cc for the nurse, then 63cc for me at 11am, the full 70cc at 2pm... then i went to work before the next feeding... but they say he took 50cc of the next 2 bottles. The speech pathologist agrees taht he's improving very very quickly from last week and that i should just take him home wtih the feeding tube if comfortable with it and she's going to recommend that to the dr. The chg nurse is checking with BCBS to see if they will cover the neocate formula so that they can get it ordered for me. He's been scheduled for a hearing test, and i'm taking the carseat up tomorrow for the car seat test. They told me to make a pediatrician appt for early next week like monday or so. So, i'm assuming that they expect to discharge in a few days... i dunno......this is all coming from the nurses...haven't gotten to talk to the docs yet.... we'll see :)
