Today the doctors said the word.....possible "discharge" date!
Dylan is doing quite well with eating. Yesterday he took in 85% of his food through his mouth. If he can keep it up and get up to 100%, they will discharge him by the end of the week. I am not hanging all of my hopes on that, because it could easily be longer, and let's face it - nothing has gone according to plan with this little guy - but I'm so happy that they are actually talking about it now. We're doing some of his final things, like his hearing test, his final ECHO, buying a carseat that will fit him (most car seats are made for babies 5 lbs and up, so we'll need a special one for Dylan), doing the parent discharge class, and learning infant CPR, etc. I think we are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Here are a couple of pictures of Dylan as we found him yesterday. The nurse had been playing with his hair after she had washed it. Pretty cute!
