Eating

Brigham now weighs about 4 pounds 2 ounces. Currently I go to the hospital and feed him twice a day, every twelve hours, and the rest of the time he is fed through a tube in his nose. He hasn't fully developed the technique of eating which involves sucking, swallowing, and breathing. He is getting better and once is able to eat without the tube he will be able to come home. I hope that time comes sooner rather than later.

Yay Brigham! I'm so glad that he is gaining weight! I hope you get to bring him home sooooon! I bet it's hard not having him.

Go Brigham!! This waiting game is so brutal, hang in there!! You guys are in my prayers, I think about you every day. Is there anything I can do?
