Our 107-day-old Fighter is picking up on bottling very well. He took almost the entire bottle for me yesterday evening and took the same for the nurse at 2am and for Dad at 8am. They might increase his feedings again if he acts as if he's interested. The nurse I just spoke with said if he seemed awake and alert around one of his feeding times, they would try to bottle him. He only gained 19 grams yesterday but that's better than losing so we aren't going to complain! He had an eye exam on Thursday and some notes were written but I didn't understand the medical lingo so I will wait and speak with a Dr. while I am in this evening. Let's pray everything will be ok with his vision.
