Time

People want an update: Well, I'll try but there really isn't much to say.

We are still sitting at the hospital with no exact date of discharge because every time we ask that question the answer is: "It's up to Weston."

He has been on and off the 1/32 liter of oxygen again in the last few days so that will continue as his stats show that he needs it. If he doesn't need it, we shut it off, if he drops too low, they turn it on until his stats go back up....on and off, on and off.

We had a frustrating couple of days with no official plan on how to help Weston gain the weight he needs and work on his feeding that has to happen in order to go home. Wednesday Ellie felt very overwhelmed with all the different opinions on what to do for feeding Weston and didn't know who to listen to. Finally on Thursday a plan was made and it has been altered a little bit last night after speech (who work on sucking and swallowing) but we've stuck to it and just have to give Weston time. The hardest part is we don't know how much time he will need before he will 'take off' and catch on to feeding and gaining weight, so here we sit.

That's about it. Still have those two goals: staying off oxygen and working on feeding. Continue to send the good vibes and prayers for Weston to continue healing and begin building up his stamina for feeding and for his tummy to handle the amount of calories he needs in order to gain weight and grow.
