So. ..without being overly optimistic...they restarted feedings last night after a week of antibiotics and he's tolerated feedings so far!! This is a huge step since he hasn't been able to digest/tolerate any breastmilk since he was born (he's 33w3d now, 16d old). They did have to transfuse blood bc of all the labs they had to run. In addition, his ability to create red blood cells hasn't completely kicked in. In general, though, the drs think he's doing really well. He has a sucking reflex (he can use a pacifier and sucks his thumb) so hopefully he'll tolerate the feeds so they can remove the PICC line and try bottle/breastfeeding. They say it'll still be another 3-5w and it's been a roller coaster of emotions but we just want him healthy.
i'm still a bit sore from the C-section and taking it a day at a time. Oh yeah...and finishing my registry ;P
