Family Weekend

Here is a picture of him in his pumpkin outfit for Halloween.
We found out this week that we were given the wrong dietary amounts for Simon's feeding. We had been worried for a while about the problems he has had with spitting up and his discomfort after feedings. That coupled with the increase in mL that they were suggesting had us worried. We talked to the dietitian and found that we were told to follow the directions on the mix which was actually 50% more calories per feeding than he was supposed to have. This hasn't caused any problems for Simon other than a slight discomfort during feeding. We adjusted his feeding on Thursday and since then he has been able to digest the full volume they suggested and is now getting fussy when feeding time comes near (means he is getting hungry.)
We are still looking forward to when he can begin eating from a bottle.
Today we had to switch his NG tube from one nostril to the other so we left it out for 3 hours to give Simon some freedom and got a chance to get some video. So here it is. If you listen you can hear his little coos over the chatter of his older brother.


Thanks,
Dean
