Kelson had another good night breathing on his own. He also ate over half his bottles for both night shift feedings. This morning he ate 30/60 mL for me. Kelson continues to be a NICU favorite, and amazes all of the staff.
The surgical NP stopped by again and said they would set up his hernia surgery for Wednesday June 20.
Krista fed at 3 PM and he has his best feeding yet eating 40 mL.
The phrase "going home" has been mentioned multiple times over the past few days. We still don't know what that date will be, but if Kelson continues to be a rockstar, it could be in the near future. I am hesitant to get my hopes up, because we still have many hurdles to cross, but it will be sooo good to have a normal life again.
I just spoke to the night nurse and Kelson had another record eating almost 50 mL. He now weighs 6 lb 6.7 oz. He is getting to be a big boy!

You are getting close!! It only took Max a couple weeks to get his bottles down pat, hopefully Kelson is quick also! Once he does that it sounds like he'll be on his way home soon!
Dont worry about the hernia surgery. It took Max about 2 days to bounce back and then you couldnt even tell he had surgery! Not to say it wasnt nerve wrecking for us...but it wasnt as big of a deal as we thought it would be. Max had to be back on O2 for a couple days also, but came right back off!
We thought the "end" was the hardest part. You're soooo ready for them to come home and everyday they are still there seems horrible. We got a couple different coming home dates. It was devastating to find out he didnt get to come home like we thought. Dont get your hopes up too much until they actually tell you that day!!! Sorry for the book!! Im so excited for you guys!! Have a great day!!
So glad to hear it!!
Wonderful news! I hope his hat still fits that growing boy or Claire will have to use it for her dollies :)
