We've had a good week. We've now moved to 5 mins of 'nutritive sucking' once a day, and Ryan is on high flow for 1.5 hrs in the morning and an hour at midnight. The thought is to try and get him on high flow for 3 hrs in a row starting next week, and doing 2 feeding sessions. So far, he seems to like eating the proper way. It's a long way until they can remove his tube, but we're on the right track.
His eyes are still a concern, so he'll continue to be monitored weekly. Not that he's close to being able to, but he can't be moved to Newmarket until his eyes are no longer an issue because if he needs surgery it's only done at Sick Kids. Cross fingers for no surgery!
In other news, we continue to be in contact isolation - but we were able to move to a new bedspace in a more quiet corner which is nice. Ryan has the 'common' strain of the bug, which means he got it from another baby. Bummer. Since we've started the feeds, my hospital visits are becoming much longer, it'll almost be like commuting to work since I'll have to be down there for 2 feeds. It'll be an adjustment for everyone once again.
Here are some pics of what we've been up to...
