Joshua is going home!

He is still not taking 40 oz per feeding, but the head of the nursery did rounds this morning and said "Why is this baby still in the hospital?" He told the nurses to stop waking Joshua every 3 hours for a feeding and to just feed him when he's hungry so they could see how he does. He also asked why Joshua wasn't dressed. Now that he isn't on an IV, they can dress him.

Tonight, Tasha & Bob will stay at the hospital in the room with Joshua. They call it "nesting". Basically they are giving the parents the experience that they missed out on because the baby was in the NICU.

Depending how that goes, Joshua will be home tomorrow or Wednesday! (Tasha said it depends on how good of parents they are!)

He had another ECHO today and the unofficial report from the nurse was that the artery was closed. There was another small item that they are keeping an eye on, but it didn't sound serious.
