Two nights ago we spent the night here at the hospital. They have free rooms you can use to stay and care for your baby. Alec and Lilah were both rolled into the room and we spent 7 hours awake. All. Night. Long.
Lilah was having a really bad night of reflux and was continually crying and screaming from the pain. Alec was changed to cue based feeding (choosing his own schedule of when to eat) so his feeding was anywhere from a half hour to hour after Lilah ate. It was rough but we survived!
Today two awesome things happened: Alec's feeding tube was removed and he passed the car seat test. He is eating enough by mouth now that they won't need the tube unless he stops gaining weight. For the car seat test he had to sit in a car seat for an hour without having any trouble breathing. Both are big steps to coming home!
Lilah is still dealing with a bit of thrush. However she has started eating more and seems more interested in food so hopefully her mouth is getting better. She is 5lbs 13 oz today.
