At least, that's what we were thinking, so Bop (Lewis' granddad) helped us assemble the crib at home today. Lewis is too big for the bassinet. We still don't have a clear timeframe for Lewis' homecoming but we remain hopeful. Meantime, Lewis slept peacefully all day. Not so exciting for us, but good that he's comfortable.
Weekends are a relaxed time in the NICU, with no specialists and much less action than usual. Good time to visit and rest. The docs think that most of the fussiness from a couple of days back was a result of trying to get Lewis off his pain meds too quickly. They've got him on a more regular step down dose now, and he seems to be much happier. ("Cold turkey" wasn't his thing).
Not too much else to report, we're just waiting for everything we've mentioned in prior posts to progress. Until then, we don't know exactly what the next steps are. The site where the g-tube goes in seems to be healing up - much less "weeping" around the wound today, if any. Feeding is ramping up very slowly - now at 5 ml/hour - and going well so far.
Given how last week went, we're okay with a few slow days.
