The hospital LIVES!!

It's Monday and the parade of people has once again resumed. Occupational Therapy had given me a special needs feeder or Haberman feeder to try and I LOVE it for Ben. He can control the milk flow himself and not choke or get milk coming through his cleft palate. The bottles are expensive (38ish dollars EACH +tax) but so worth it. The OT lady gave us one and it is a must we get more before going home.

The lactation consultant was here to help me develop a plan for pumping and storing milk as well as trialing skin to skin and latching prior to Ben's feeds and pumping.

Consults have been arranged for several departments this week so hopefully we will start getting some answers.

Ben did so well feeding we are looking at loosing the NG tube!!! Such good news! His IV was discontinued last night as well!!

Victoria and Harrison were down today as well and it was nice to have some normal family time. I miss them and can't wait until we can all be home!
