Day 44

Brayden continues to have good days then bad etc. We're not sure what's going on, but I believe we have pushed him to far this week. In the past 10 days, he has started bottle feeding, breast feeding, been taken off his cannula, off his caffeine and so on. Now, I'm not a doctor (I think I should be at this point though) but that sure seems like a lot to me for a preemie.

The docs here are some of the best in the state, so we know they know what they are doing, but someone should tell Brayden. At this point, we're not sure when he's coming home. It's probably 50-50 at this point that he'll be home by Christmas. If he's not, we will deal with it by knowing he needs a little extra care before he joins us at home. Frankly, I'd rather he stay until they are sure he's 100% good to go with his breathing.

Erin and I take baby CPR tomorrow and then we meet with the OT to go over all the developmental issues that preemies go through....ARGH!!!!!
