@woodrowcall No need to apologize I like straight shooters. He's making progress, today the doctor said they anticipate him being off the cannula "within a few days" and lactation declared his feeding skills are good enough to start the holy algorithm. They don't use the word holy, I added that...

@bubatuf Thank you for replying, it feels good to know what others went through. Yes, knowing about average stay is a curse, my research ability really hasn't served me well here.

@jesusiscomingbacksoon He's better, he actually made a lot of progress the day after my last comment. Lactation declared that he's showing sufficient skills to begin their algorithm program where they subtract from his tube feeds based on the amount of time and quality that he's latching, and...

@jesusiscomingbacksoon Update we did ask, and they said that bottle feeding is not appropriate because of the cannula. Even though he spends most of his time at 21%, same exact amount of oxygen as ambient air, the fact that he needs that flow of forced air apparently means that bottle feeding...

@jesusiscomingbacksoon thank you!! we will be asking about this idea this morning

@turfbanner We did ask about bottles at rounds this morning, and they said that bottle feeding is not appropriate because of the cannula. Even though he spends most of his time at 21%, the minimum because it's the same exact amount of oxygen as the ambient air, the fact that he needs that flow...

@turfbanner WOW, just 4 days later?! When you say room air do you mean cannula with room air as the flow, or no cannula at all? I assume you mean the latter because they've told us in order to go home he would need to prove he can maintain his oxygen (AKA no "beepy boy" as I call him when the...

@katrina2017 I edited them in because I realized that's a trend here haha. Thank you!

@katrina2017 thanks for your reply! Congratulations on your little one getting so far! Yes, they did tell us to only try when he's awake and cueing. Sometimes I think I'm still learning to recognize the cues. He has all these little movements from his developing nervous system and that sometimes...

Hi everyone, I'm new here. Our son (an IVF baby due to CBAVD with me + PCOS with wife) was born on April 8th at 34+1 weeks by c-section due to severe pre-eclampsia that culminated in my wife being hospitalized with 180/106 blood pressure. She had steroid shots on 4/5 and 4/6, and then on 4/8 the...
