6 pounds 2.3 ounces actually. Everything is still going well. Nick is continuing to take bottles. They actually offer him a bottle with each feed now. He goes back and forth with taking them. He usually takes a whole bottle at every other feed. On the other feeds he usually does about half, or a little more, then they give them the rest through the tube.
They are still happy to leave his oxygen as it is, so that he can concentrate on the bottles with out having too much change at once. Once he is taking bottles better, they will again try to ween him down on oxygen, or perhaps send him home on oxygen. Right now, they are thinking that sending him home with oxygen is a pretty good bet. Plans do change often though, so we are waiting to see what the final word is. He is doing really well. Can't wait for him to come home!
