Day of changes…
by Dave
Today has been such a wonderful day. The doctors have stopped the con
tinuous nose feedings and have him eating from a bottle every few hours. Now he gets to experience what it feels like to be hungry, so far he is doing a great job with the bottle feedings. His speech therapist will be pleased to know that he is eating most of his bottles, leaving only a little bit for his feeding tube. This is a huge ‘praise God’ moment, we are that much closer to bringing him home. Yay!!
Eli is also in a new room. They moved him up to the third floor to the Pediatric Intermediate Care Unit (IMC). The IMC is much nicer that PICU and NICU. Eli now has his own room with a TV, couch/bed, closet space, recliner and his own bathroom. He was so excited about the transfer that he slept through the entire thing.
Eli’s new room number is 3128 and the phone number for this room is 612.874.4978.

It won’t be long now!!!
Grandpa visited last night and took Eli for his first walk, least as far as a 10ft monitor cord would allow. We could just about get out of the room, but not quite. I also got to feed him a little bit to get him to take the last few cc’s that he was suppose to drink. Soon he’ll be home and we can pick on him in private!! Someday Megan you’re going to regret trying to wake him up all the time!
Love Grandpa.
