Davis crossed over the 5-pound barrier Sunday night/Monday morning. Blew through it, is more like it. He now weighs in at 5 pounds, 5 ounces. Since Friday, his doctor has been slowly adding the ounces to his feedings, and our little guy has been taking it all in, with little or no residuals.
Another nipple test takes place tomorrow later this morning. Feeding from a nipple, whether breast or bottle, is the last barrier before Davis can come home. His current doctor (they rotate hospitals) is hoping for Davis to catch on to this and be ready to head home within the next ten to fourteen days!
