Little Trooper

Hudson has been in the NICU 9 days now and hopefully will be coming home very soon. It's hard for the doctors/nurses to give an estimate because every baby really is so drastically different. He has progressed very fast on every other mile marker, however I think his feedings are a little harder. He started taking a bottle very well and still is, but he can only take an ounce before he gets worn out and falls asleep. They need him to take about twice that before they can send him home. That's why they still have the feeding tube in his nose- the remainder from each feeding goes in through a tube feeding.

Other than that, he has done very well. From what the nurses tell me, he is a very alert baby and does not like to have a wet or dirty diaper!

We are very ready to have him home! If he can keep progressing on his feedings, then it might be sometime next week.

Here are a few pictures from the last couple of days!
