Tucker had a good day today, the nurses love all the big smiles. He ate his goal of 300 cc/ml of 30 calorie formula during the day and they are going to feed him another 200 cc/ml of formula overnight through the feeding tube. This should start to put weight on him quickly because he will not have to burn the 120-180 calories to suck the nightly formula down. Gary learned how to set up and use the medication pump that we will be using to feed Tucker the nightly formula. The early word is that we will be discharged on Saturday, maybe Friday if everything goes well overnight.
Tucker and his new NG tube.
Spencer had another difficult day at preschool. He has started to be very defiant and disruptive. He is so loud and disruptive that the other children cannot nap. We were told that he was so bad they almost had to call us to go pick him up. We don't know if his actions are because he is feeling neglected or not getting enough attention. We really don't know what else to do.
Thanks again to everyone for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.
