Koa is eating on the bottle
Yep Koa started on bottle feeds and is still fed with a tube that goes to his tummy. He seems to be doing good with the feeds other than tonight he puked up on me. And let me tell you what that wasn't just a little puke it was huge I had never seen that much puke come from a baby in my life. So I was told now I'm a "real dad" I have got the 3 P's Peed on, Pooped on, Puked on. But it wasn't to bad other than that the formula is predigested so that he is able to digest it better. Koa's lungs are doing a little better he has been on the nasal canula all day and if he is sleeping really sound he is at room air. Most of the time he is between 30 and 40 %.
Last night Koa was playing with one of the nurses on a mat and took a toy block and put it in his mouth. He is tracking and recognizing voices really good. And is really liking his swing.
Koa's bottom is doing a lot better and he is a lot less fussy now. And he really likes to suck on his pacifier and have his back patted.
Thank you all for your prayers and support.
Thank you God for watching over Koa and for answering our prayers.
We love you all

What a nice report on Koa's progress. You guys do such a nice job of keeping everybody informed about how you're all doing! It sounds like Koa is making giant steps toward coming home now, so it won't be long. As always, you are all in our hearts and our prayers. Take care - Jan
Sounds like he is doing well on the eating, pooping and peeing part-oh and yah you have been christened by all three. Well what a kid!!!!! He sounds like he is heading into the home stretch now. One last hurdle-hernias(but maybe that can be taken care of later after he is bigger and more able to handle it.) As long as he sucks and can eliminate and breath on nasal canula then he could handle coming home. Can't wait. Love you all Aunt Lori and all.
