The gavage tube is gone!!! The nurses decided to let Brigham try to feed completely on his own. He now decides when and how much he eats at each feeding. He still needs to take in at least 173 ml each 12 hours and needs to continue to put on weight. If he can do this for a couple of days he is ready to come home. He took in over 200 ml during the first 12 hours of today...hopefully he keeps it up tonight.
We are so excited!! He was born on Feb. 2nd but it feels like our family will finally be "born" when he gets to join us at home.
