*there's a date

Will's surgery date is set for April 28th!

The cardiologist is pleased with his growth (finally!). He weighs 10 lbs 9 oz!

We also saw a GI doctor this week to see if we can get Will's reflux under control. His medication has been changed and a nutritionist will be helping us with the feeding plan. Will currently takes 78 MLs every 3 hours of breastmilk fortified to 26 calories with a formula called Neosure. We try to feed him with a bottle and whatever he doesn't finish goes through his tube. Although this has helped him put on weight, as I've mentioned before Will doesn't get hungry. When we left the NICU we thought that he would only need the tube for awhile and eventually he would eat everything on his own. But he isn't taking more by mouth like everyone hoped. Maybe something can be modified to give him a chance to eat a little more normally soon. 

When one of us is away from home, the other sends a cellphone picture so we can see what Will is doing. This is the one I sent Chris on Friday:

And here is one he sent me today:

He looked so grown up in his outfit and little shoes!
