We have been in the hospital since this past Sunday. Easton was throwing up a lot again. We have since decreased his calorie count in his formula. He is on an increased amount because heart babies hearts work so fast that they burn more calories and we need him growing for his next surgery. He seems to be tolerating the lower calories better and being on a different reflux medication. We also took him off a multivitamin and he is just on Vitamin D now with his three other medications. If he starts to throw up again to the point that he is losing weight, they will likely move his NG tube (into the belly) to an NJ (into the intestine). This is a big step backwards when it comes to feeds so we hope that doesn't happen. He has been moved to continuous feeds which is a step backwards, but not a huge step. He is tolerating that well too. We're super excited to be heading home. Having your family under one roof is a wonderful feeling. We're hoping and praying this is our last hospital stay until his next surgery. Loving this cute little man!
