Ian has been home for 10 days now. He's doing great! He hasn't had to have a feeding by tube since friday morning. He's been taking all of his bottles and fussing about an hour later like he's starving, so i finally just started giving him a little more when he gets that way and he eats it.... then eats his full bottle another 1 1/2 hrs later lol. I pulled his feeding tube out today since he hasn't needed it lately. I figure if he gets to where he needs it, i'll just put another one in but no since in having it in if he's going to eat everything by mouth. He's still very jaundice. We go to see the surgeon on Wednesday and for a weight check at the pediatrician on wednesday as well. I took him to work with me Friday and today....I couldn't get alot done with him fussy and wanting to be held so i put him in a sling and carried him around all day and he curled up and slept. he loved it! I haven't heard from the pediatrician about the referrals to the specialists and i still need to call SoonerStart to get therapists out here to evaluate him.

All in all, he's doing great, thriving well, and he's even starting to smile at us when we talk to him. It's so cute!
