The medical team was just in to talk with us about Carter's progress. In the past 24 hours Carter has taken 100% of his feeds by mouth. Today he will have his feeding tube removed and we will go to ad lib feeding. This means that he will feed when he cues instead of the every three hours that he has been scheduled for in the past. He will need to continue his weight gain during the next day or two on this schedule to be successful. We were also advised to bring in his car seat so that he can have his car seat test. During the car seat test Carter has to be strapped in and sit in it in the room for 60 minutes without lowering his heart rate or decreasing his oxygen saturation level. All of this preparation means that we are within days of bringing our little boy home. Continue your prayers for little Carter to be successful over these next couple of days.
