Bottle Feeding and Coming Home!

Porter Mac had a great day yesterday! He went from bottle feeding 5cc's, then took 10cc's, and THEN took 25cc's this morning! Once he can do this consistently he can come off the NG tube!!!!! We are so so excited!!!

Thomas and Jennifer have gone to the hospital today and will stay tonight. They are going to have to take care of him, all his feedings, changing, and bathing, to help prepare them for once they are home. They are also going to be taught how to insert his NG tube in case he pulls it out again (which I think they are a little nervous about!) Hopefully he will continue to increase his bottle feeds and won't need the tube much longer!

I can't believe he is almost a month old!!! I am so so excited by the progress he has made!! I know he will continue to grow stronger everyday! Thank you again for being a part of his life and praying for him! It has made all the difference and we are all forever grateful!

So excited about tomorrow! Can't wait to show you pictures of our sweet little man finally coming home! It's going to be an awesome day!!!
