Happy four months to our baby boy (on the 12th)!
We have some great news! Jett has officially moved to the NPCU or Newborn(neonatal) Progression Care Unit on the 7th floor of Children's. This is where he will work on going home! Right now Jett is currently practicing on eating from a bottle. He must drink at least 75-100% of his bottle and to be gaining weight appropriately in order to come home. We are so close! Last night he drank 100% of his bottle for momma perfectly! It was an exciting experience!
Jett is still breathing with a nasal cannula on the lowest amount of oxygen, but doctors believe he will go home with it. Both of us (mom & dad) will be specifically trained in dealing with a infant on breathing assistance. Although it is a very, very little amount, it is just enough for Jett. Both I and Travis feel very comfortable with it and have no worries. Jett breaths wonderfully even without the assistance but feel it would be necessary for home until he can do fine completely without.
We are thinking Jett will be able to come home within a week. He is doing so well and making us so proud! Thanks for all the prayers, wishes, thoughts and love! We are so excited and awaiting "that phone call" everyday
