Day 15: Smallish Bear had another good day today. They removed his IV this evening, so no more unicorn horn! Hes handling his feeds well & theyre increasing them slowly. Ill be meeting with the feed team tomorrow to start trying bottle feeds with him to start trying to determine whether or not hell be able to take nutrition orally. Weve been able to move him in & out of his bed on our own since yesterday. He seems to be slowly gaining control over movement of his arms & legs and has begun lifting & turning his head on occasion. His sound repertoire has increased with the addition of grunts & whimpers today, but he hasnt cried yet-the little growl he does seems to be his irritated sound, and appropriately so. Everything else seems to be holding stable, which is what we want to see at the moment. Stability brings us closer to going home :-)
