I just heard from Ashley (I will be heading over after work today) and they have removed Sam's IV (yay! It was in his scalp and then his hand, but his little veins weren't cooperating so we're glad to have that out so he's not a pincushion any longer). He still has the NG tube in for feedings, BUT he took his first bottle yesterday and took a full feeding. He took another one today but he was pretty sleepy Ashley says so he only took about 1/2 of the full feeding. I get to try when I head over around 5:00 pm.
He's also been moved into a "big boy bed" (i.e. out of the plexiglas box and into an open-air bed that's not temperature controlled).
He's also up to 4 lbs, 5 oz.
This is good news because it means he's a) growing, b) learning how to bottle feed, and c) closer to coming home. It's that last part that we're really focused on!
