Feast and famine (8 weeks, 6 days old)

Last night, Corbin pulled his nasal feeding tube clear out. His night nurse said that he was awake for every feeding, so he continued to get bottles every feed. Today he took all of his feedings by nursing or bottle. If he can keep up at this pace and keep gaining weight, he shouldn't need a feeding tube any more! Mom and Dad aren't getting too excited yet...things can change quickly.

Quinn is still getting all of his nutrition through his IV. His third IV in five days fell out and the best place left to put one in was in his scalp. Needless to say, he's had better evenings. Also, the doctor decided to consult with the surgeon tomorrow to see if any more tests are needed before Quinn starts getting feeds again. He is acting like himself and his abdomen looks good.

Here is Corbin then Quinn snoozing this afternoon.
