waiting

Well, we have added another Dr to the payroll. A gastroenterologist came and saw Jacob on Monday. He thinks Jacob will tolerate feedings better if he is fed continuously rather than getting a bottle every 3 hrs. He is getting 4mls an hour and they are planning on increasing his feedings by 1 ml/hr every day. At his current weight the goal would be to get him up to about 27 mls/hr. Of course, that number will go up as he gains weight. Anyway, we have a long way to go, but we are making progress. Hopefully there won't be as many setbacks with the continuous feeds.
He seems to be doing good so far. He has made it through four days of feedings. He has never made it more than four days before, so that's kind of a big deal.
