Joshua continues to do well, yesterday (Wednesday 12/9/09) at the morning meeting doctors decided it was a good time to go ahead and let Joshua try to drink out of a bottle for the 1st time. On his first day he only consumed 10cc of milk, but needs to reach up to 150cc (5oz) to meet his goal. After meeting his goal with his feeds, he also needs to be off the cannula breathing treatment so that way he can come home.
At today's morning meeting the doctors decided they could go ahead and change Joshua's status level 3 in the NICU to level 2 in the NICU. This is another very big step Joshua is taking. Joshua is on the right path and slowly but surely we will be on our way home.
That is awesome news! I'm sure you and Meli are anxious to take Joshua home. I'm so happy that Joahua is doing so well. It won't be long before he gets to go home:)
