Yesterday they started him on bottles again to see how much he would drink, and then the rest of the feeding goes down the tube. He did very well. One feeding he drank all 66ml of his feeding in a bottle over 1/2 an hour. His belly did not get bloated and he tolerated it very well. This is very good news!
So today they are upping the quantity - 75ml per feeding, but the formula will be the normal 20 calorie, not the enriched 22 calorie.
It is possible that he will be coming home tomorrow (Monday)

Michael is doing so great! He is eating bottles and wants them earlier than scheduled. His pale color is getting better and better and he is content while sleeping and happy as a clam while awake. We should be going home tomorrow. i don't anticipate any more problems. He will likely have his NG-tube for at least another week but the light is bright at the end of the tunnel. We are very excited and grateful for all of the prayers and the grace of our Heavenly Father.
