Day 83

Jameson is doing amazing and is almost at his full feeds. He is gaining weight and is currently 9lbs. 8oz. Matty and I were able to give him a bath and do his feedings today. We have to show his doctors that we are comfortable using his G-tube as part of the discharge process. He has two tests for discharge he has to pass. They are a hearing test and a carseat test. The hearing test is pretty standard, but the carseat test is designed for babies born before 37 weeks to make sure they can tolerate the ride home from the hospital. Since we live about an hour away, he will have to do about 90 minutes in the carseat with no desaturations. Other than that we are getting closer. We haven't received the official discharge date from the doctors, but we should know by tomorrow.
