Big news and no changes (9 weeks old)

Mom and Dad found out today that Corbin will probably get to go home this week! He is now eating a minimum of 40 mL's each feed, but can eat more if he wants. He has taken 44 and 43 mL's with bottles so far. He will go through the "car seat test" soon, to make sure he handles sitting in it for a period of time. Mom and Dad are going to be spending the night with Corbin in a parent room for a trial run on their own. He also got his two month shots today along with the RSV vaccination - he really wasn't so excited about them.

Unfortunately, Quinn is still not getting to eat. An x-ray of his abdomen was done, and it showed that a portion of his bowel was dilated. This is most likely from his bowels not moving. All that can be done for this is waiting for it to move through. An abdominal ultrasound was also done but results will not be known until tomorrow. The doctor said that he wants to be very cautious and although it is frustrating, Mom and Dad know he is not sick and it could be worse. Another x-ray will be done in the morning.

No pics today...hopefully there will be time for some tomorrow!
