Sigh. I'm feeling pretty crummy this week. Isaac isn't making any progress on the eating front, which kind of squashes all of my fantasies about getting him home soon. Mr. Boy has to be able to eat before we can spring him from the NICU, and so far the most he has taken from the bottle is about an ounce, and he doesn't do that consistently. We're shooting for more like an ounce and a half to two ounces, and being able to do that at every feeding.
He has a whole team of people trying to help, but it's not really something that can be forced or even helped much; he'll do it when he's ready to do it. It's totally normal to not have this down at his gestational age, so it's not even reasonable for me to feel this way, but it's so hard when it's the only thing keeping him in the NICU. He's so big and healthy.
I'm letting go of hoping that he'll be home by Thanksgiving, and trying not to come up with any "well maybe by (random date)..." scenarios. He'll come home when it's time.
