@bifford That seems to be the case. Unfortunately, if it weren’t obvious, patience isn’t my strong suit, especially when I know he’s healthy, just needs to be a better eater

@bifford After our swallow study today, it seems there isn’t evidence to support aspiration and at this point it’s mostly reflux which they’re actively treating. He’s coming off O2 tomorrow so now we just need to eat well consistently

@teresafreez That’s kinda crazy they just discharged them out of the blue. I don’t think they’ll do that to us, they can sense my impatience pretty clearly, but definitely aren’t fed up with me enough to just send him home before he’s ready

@mearedaniel I meant in terms of desats

@cyclisme He’s able to, but not consistently. I’ll ask them if we can try exclusive breastfeeding in the hospital and if that might get him home sooner. He has no issues on breast, only bottle

@scottbes It’s just hard because I feel like while this week he finally made some progress, I’ve been given no idea what the goalposts are. I’d just like a sense of when I can start to feel some hope.

@reallyconfused0512 Oh God I can’t do that 😭. Monday is his due date, I can’t imagine doing another 5 weeks after that

@reallyconfused0512 How long was your son in the NICU?

@lostandinsecure I hear that, but I think there’s a balancing act between pushing him too hard and not pushing hard enough.

Baby was born at 36+5 via emergency c section due to HELLP syndrome diagnosis. He made it clear pretty quickly he was NOT planning on being early. We’re now at almost 3 weeks in the NICU/SCN with our ONLY issue being reflux and occasional desats while eating from a bottle. He’s shown MASSIVE...

@groundskeeper I believe baby has to measure 6 days or more ahead/behind for them to change your due date. So, more than likely, the date you’re using for leave should be fine

@groundskeeper It’s unlikely the due date will change but it’s also very unlikely you’ll give birth on your actual due date. I think something like 30% of women do and that’s it.
