NO MORE COFFEE... JUST KIDDING

I forgot to mention yesterday that they stopped Justin's caffeine doses. We will see if he was ready for that. Only time will tell. He seems to be doing just fine but the caffeine in his system doesn't wear off for about a week. If he starts having spells or dropping his O2 levels, he will be back on the caffeine. It's really not a big deal to be back on it, but he has to be off caffeine for 2 weeks before he goes home in order to not have to be monitored at home. That wouldn't be the end of the world either, but it would be nice to have no monitors once we come home. We would only have to monitor him when we aren't watching him like at night or when he rides in his car seat. So far so good though. He had a hearing test last night and the nurse said he passed that with flying colors! And, he is still doing well with bottle and breast feeding. They want to get full feedings established with breast feeding before they do more than one bottle a day. He is still eating about half and then needing the other half in his feeding tube. But, he is only 35 weeks today and they don't expect the eating thing to really click until 36+ weeks. Even full term babies sometimes have a hard time with it. He is doing very well though and moving right along!
