Day # 62-66 In the home stretch

It has been a while since I have posted, mostly because I am exhausted. I haven't taken a day off even the day of the surgery I was at the NICU before I had the surgery. I do have a ton of really good news.

As you all know Trey has been taking bottles and breastfeeding. He is now taking all of his feeds orally...AWESOME and he is no longer on supplemental oxygen..YES!! I said it he is taking all his feeds by mouth and is off of the oxygen. He is constantly gaining weight so.....YEP...he is coming home soon. The nurses have bets going on how much longer it will be. One says next week and the other thinks he will be home before she gets back from vacation. Trey's final eye exam showed now prematurity in his eyes at all so no ROP and his IVH resolved it's self. When the doctor called to let me know that he was off of the O2 and taking his feeds orally..I just said Okay and listed as usual. He said to me.."do you know what I am telling you...Your going to have a baby home, really soon." It didn't hit me until Wednesday night. I woke up at 3am and couldn't sleep. I felt like I did when I was 6 the night before Christmas. I was full of excitement. I can't imagine how little sleep I will get the night before he actual comes home. So, Chris and I are spending the holiday weekend getting everything in order for Trey's big homecoming. We could get the call any day that he is ready to come home
