Nearly There!!!

Home is just around the corner for us and we are thrilled. Milo got his feeding tube taken out two days ago and has been off oxygen since 2am this morning. So far so good and if it weren't for his hernia we would be headed home in a day or so. He will need surgery to fix his hernia before he leaves and we are hoping a spot will be open either Monday or Tuesday. We are told it will be a quick recovery and won't hold us back too long before heading home. 

Milo is eating well now that he is off the  oxygen. He stopped eating once the feeding tube was out and we had no idea why. Turns out he hated the formula they were adding to his breast milk and the nasal prongs were actually making it harder for him to breathe once his oxygen settings were so low. Now that he is off it all he is back to his normal hungry hungry (baby) hippo self.
