Grant is doing so much better. It is obvious that his throat is healing because he is smiling a ton these days.His bottle skills are improving, but he still has a way to go. Each feeding takes 1-2 hours and we have to feed him every 3 hours, even in the middle of the night.
Please pray for endurance for us and that Grant would pick up the pace in his feeds. He's still not up to his recommended amount of formula, so he's not gaining weight like the doctors would like, but he's not losing weight anymore either. Because he's still not eating enough, he's not back on all his meds. The doctor didn't want him off longer than 48 hours and now it's been a week, so I have a call in to the cardiologist to ask him what we should do.
Grant continues to do well off oxygen during the day. :)
Thank you to all of you who continue to bring meals, grocery shop, and help with other various tasks. This really allows us to focus on feeding Grant. We couldn't do this without you.
