We are still working on the bottles. He seems to be able to take more full bottles in a row. After a few, he does get tired and need a break for a while. They are content not to push him too hard right now. They allow him to dictate when he wants to take a bottle and when he doesn't.
Other than that, there isn't much of a change with him. He was circumcised today. He did well with it. Not much discomfort. They gave him a pain blocker for the procedure, and Tylenol for pain the rest of today.
He is still on .75 liters of oxygen. They are hoping to be able to turn him down to .5 before he goes home, but they are waiting for him to get a little better at the bottle feeding before they do that.
Still don't have a definitive timeline of when he will get to come home. I feel like I keep saying 2 or 3 weeks, and that was 2 or 3 weeks ago. I don't think it will be long, but they aren't exactly in a hurry to get him home either. I know he needs to jump a few more hurdles before the time comes for him to go home. I just hope it is soon!

You have a good attitude about letting Nicholas set the pace- though I can imagine you are so ready to get him home where he belongs! Getting circed is a good sign that he's getting close!! Glad he tolerated it without too much protest :)
