So far we're off to a great start! I got to St. Mary's at about 6:45 and our little man was hungry so we got to nurse right away! Then again at 9ish. He's been off of the high flow since about then and doing awesome!! So we're doing a trail run. They're keeping the nose piece on in case he goes into a respiratory distress, but it's not hooked up to anything. It's really there "just in case" We've also stopped he tubal feedings on a trial basis. Previously when I've nursed, he gets a tubal feeding right after because he doesn't get a lot from me, but now we want to see if he's able to get enough milk from me to keep him satisfied for a few hours at a time.
Once we both learn how to breastfeed together, we get to talk about going home!!! I'm told this can sometimes take up to a week to learn, but that's ok. We're making progress and the end is in sight. Looks like I'll probably be staying at the hospital tonight to cater to Cael's nursing needs!
Hopefully we'll be able to get rid of some chords and tubes today so I can get a new picture posted. Right now he's under the lights for a bit. He's not as jaundice as he was, but the lights don't hurt any. They said today will probably be the last day for those!
Love to all~
