Caelan took a bottle! The nurse tried it out at his 8pm feeding last night and she said he did great! He maintained his oxygen level the whole time- she said she only gave him half an ounce through the bottle before going back to his tube feeding. They don't want to overdo it of course on the first few times, it will be a process. But.... wow! What a step! He has just done really well in general for the past couple of days. Looks better, acts better- respiration rate is down a LOT since the beginning of the week- was over 100, now down to about 50-60 or so. He still has a way to go- this will still take some time- between the energy it takes to eat and slowing down his respirations. But YAY! I will be there in the morning for his 8am feeding- maybe I will get to try the bottle with him!
PS... Happy Birthday Shawon!!
