11 Weeks Old

Brandon is 11 weeks old today. He is now having a bottle every other feed and still doing really well with his bottles. His liter flow was turned down to 1/4 liter and he was doing well on that when Stu and I were at the hospital this afternoon. Dr. Rekedal is his doctor today. He came over to talk to Stu and me when we were there and he said they were talking during rounds this morning about sending him home in a week. He said they talked about the possibility of him coming home on oxygen. He may need it all the time if he comes home on it or for feeds and sleeping only. They might give him a diuretic to see if that helps him to come off of the oxygen. They still need to lower the liter flow and then they will see what happens from there. So it sounds like sometime in the next 1-2 weeks at the most Brandon will be home. I have gotten so used to going to the hospital that it will be very strange to not go anymore. It will be so nice to have Brandon home though so I am sure I will get used to not going once he is home.
