5!

Jax is getting the hang of the whole suck, swallow, breathe thing. He's done awesome with his bottles in the last 24 hours. So awesome, in fact, that they are upping his bottle feeds to 5 tomorrow. Yahoo!!!! We're that much closer to HOME!!!!

The feeding tube has moved again. Not because the nurses decide that it's a good idea. The first time it was moved from his mouth to his nose was because Jax decided to pull it out. Josh and I just assumed that it was because they'd started feeding him bottles and not having the tube there helped him be able to suck better. Not so. Jaxon had hooked his hand in it and pulled it out. So it was moved to his nose, because there it's harder for them to pull out. Riiiiight. This afternoon when I got to the hospital, the nurse told me that the feeding tube was through the other nostril because Jax had pulled it out again. Now, there is no space for a little finger to hook in there and pull it out. Mostly because it is taped all the way to his nose.

Hopefully, they'll just decide to get rid of the feeding tube completely...that would be awesome. Fingers crossed that we do well with nippling 5 bottles tomorrow!

Tub bath tonight! We didn't get to do one last week and his nurse tonight said we could probably do one tonight before the 10pm feeding. It could be an adventure, knowing how Jax feels about baths.
