Getting better

We are still at the hospital as of Sunday morning. James has been doing well and he hasn't gotten any worse. He still has a cough and he still has a stuffy nose. He is back up on his feeding with almost the same formula as he had when he was well. We started giving him 10 calories per fluid ounce yesterday, then he moved up to 19 cal/fl oz, then 24 cal/ fl oz, and this latest feed he got 27 cal/ fl oz. They will keep him at that for a little while and then he will get back at 30 cal/ fl oz, which has been his normal energy intake. The doctors came by earlier and they though that he was doing really well. They said either he did not get a serious case of the flu or he is a true fighter, we decided to go with the latter. He really is a fighter, how much can you go through and still have a smile on your face? He is doing so great and we are very proud of him. We are also allowed to bring him home today, we are just waiting to see how his feedings are going. He might stay until tomorrow morning, just to be on the safe side. He has been away from the house for almost 72 hours now, but be are so glad that we found out that he had the flu and got help so quickly. Children's medical center has really taken care of us and all the staff is amazing. We are so grateful to have them in our family. We tried to give him the bottle this morning, but he was not interested. We will take it slow and hopefully get back to it soon.
