Elliot's had a great week! He is over 4lbs and eating like a champ! BJ and I came back up Wednesday evening to see Elliot, we had been gone a few extra days and he looked so different to us, it's amazing to see how much he can change in just a few days.
We've been here for 85 days now and we are working on weight gain, bottle feeding and of course his lungs, he's been such a trooper giving it his all each and every day. We don't try to bottle feed him unless he gives us cues, such as eating his sheets and really sucking at his pacifier, otherwise he gets tube fed so he can rest and work on the lungs. BJ and I have each tried with the bottle and we are getting more comfortable each time. It's a process for him to learn to do 3 things at one, but we are taking it one day at a time. We've learned that Elliot would rather take the slow path that's a lot less traveled then speed up in the fast lane!
BJ's been working on E's next video - this one is going to be great - we've done a lot in the past few weeks! Off to cuddle with Elliot before we head home to Manchester for a few days! Love the Perry's
