Today is 4/27 and it is our last day in the NICU. We’ve been in the hospital since 10pm 4/4 due to wife’s preeclampsia. Our son was born 4/14 at 33 weeks and 2days. We have spent every single night in the hospital since 4/4. I tried getting my wife to come home just for one night to give her some sense of normality, but she understandably refused so I stayed with her. Fortunately our son only had complications feeding. Seeing him with the feeding tube was sad and frustrating because he clearly hated it too because he kept ripping it out. He kept falling asleep mid feed with no signs of it getting better. Randomly on 4/24 he started taking in entire bottles. Now he screams bloody murder when he’s hungry, and I’m so happy that he does. I’m just excited to finally bring him home to a comfortable environment where I can pick him up without having wires and tubes attached to him.
