103 Days Old!

Brett is doing great.  Right now he only needs to do a few things to come home.  

1.  Get to full feeds.  He is on track to be on full feeds (based on body weight) by the end of July.
2.  Tolerate full feeds.  He has to absorb the feeds properly and have appropriate output.
3.  Once he is doing this, he must go 1 week without any episodes.  After that week he comes home!!!

Brett completely weaned of the continuous morphine drip.  They have to give some to him a few times a day to help with withdrawals, but it is a big step to not be on the drip.
