As of now, they are waiting until my nephew is 5 1/2 pounds and then he will have surgery to place his feeding tube in his stomach (he's at almost 5 pounds). Then he will have to stay in the hospital for 7 to 10 days before he can go home. He did not tolerate the bananas they used to thicken his "milk" so they stopped his oral feeds for a few days and started them back up. As far as I know, he has been tolerating them so far. I'm hoping that trend will continue for him and he puts the weight on so they can do the surgery and he can go home.

It's hard to believe that he is now a month old already!

Thank you to all for the prayers! I know they are working and I know my niece and her husband really appreciate it.
