Days 83 - 88,
Firstly let me apologise for not updating Ronan's website but things are VERY hectic around here and i am never home! I am at the hospital for 3 feeds a day and the feeds are 4hrs apart so i am hanging around the hospital all day and what feels like all night too..
He is cruising along great, still on the low flow but hasn't desated in 2 days, soooooo he may just be coming home with nothing but we will see.. He is still learning to breastfeed only he is asleep when it's feed time and i am going NUTS because they keep topping him up so he is never hungry.. We did success on the breast however 2 times over the weekend and he was great! He does everything right, sucks REALLY well but it's a matter of him being awake so i am going to tell the lactation consultants what "I" want to do with the feeding thing, not the other way around because their way doesn't work!
Ronan now weighs 3620 grams (8 pound) and is looking fantastic! We think he may be coming home within the next 2 weeks but we are not 100% sure at this stage.. 
What a longggg journey as it has been 12wks already, so we really hope he gets the feeding underway so we can have our son home with us finally!
