Getting close... but lots to do

Max is up to 40mls on his bottle feeds. We need to get to 65 or 70 which should happen by early next week.

I suspect surgery sometime next week for the hernias. They will schedule after the end of this week when he is off all IV nutrition.

Troy and I have our going home class tonight. Then we schedule our night to sleep over in the NICU.

The NICU doctor told us we both need pertussis (whooping cough) shots and both kids immunizations will be updated a little early before Max comes home. She called our family doctor to make this all happen.

Besides getting up to full feeds and the surgery, Max still needs an MRI, hearing test, 4 month immunizations, and more before he'll be ready to go.

We're on the road to getting him home, but still plenty of roadblocks ahead.
