Aegean took all of his food from the bottle on Monday and Tuesday. Dr. Mah finally approved removal of the feeding tube. He is happily free of any tubes or IVs. We took his first picture without tubes since his birthday 4 weeks ago. Aegean continues to have occasional apnea and bradycardia. Dr. Mah will monitor him over the weekend. He recommends sending Aegean home with the heart rate, breathing rate, and oxygen saturation monitors if everything is stable. He said that we can take care of him just as well as the NICU nurses can. I hope he is right. We will plan for a tentative graduation on Tuesday next week. That is good timing because Grammy will be arriving on Tuesday too.
Grandpa Mitch visited Aegean and Cambria today. Mommy and Grandpa Mitch seemed to think Cambria's gas was histerical. Apparently the babies didn't escape this Brown Family Curse. That didn't stop Grandpa Mitch from helping change diapers. We hope he will bring Great Grandparents Helen and Less to see them this weekend!
Daddy has been looking forward to his 1 week of paternity leave as soon as Aegean comes home. He followed a tip today and found out that Amgen pays for 1 week per child within 30 days. Two times the babies = two times the diapers = 2 times the time off. Daddy gets 2 weeks off to spend with the babies - Daddy is happy!
