We finally got to come home last night! It is so great to be home again!!! We finally feel like we got some sleep! You know how it is in hospitals the nurses wake you up like a thousand times during the night to check stuff, so it was nice to sleep with no interuptions.
Layne will be fed through the NG tube for about 6 weeks before they put in the G button. The surgeons like to wait at least 6 weeks after they have had a cold or other illness before they do the surgery. So he is getting feeds 4x a day and gets a continuous feed throughout the night. He can still eat what he wants by mouth too. He will be able to eat baby food meals too if he wants, those would be like and added bonus to the formula. His formula is going to be 30 calories per ounce so he should gain weight in no time! He has lost some due to being sick so right now he is 13lbs 12.5ozs.
Here is Layne getting on the plane!

Yeah so glad you all made it home. Braden had an NG tube before getting his G-tube as well. You'll be amazed how quick Layne will put on weight. That's at least one plus from having one.:-)
