What THE What?

I think we are trapped! Mr. Gabe is much more himself. His lungs are clear today and his oxygen has been discontinued. He's playing happily between naps and eating well (I thought!) when he wakes. He is suffering from a nasty diaper rash, but that is typical for him when he is on antibiotics and wearing disposable diapers for an extended period of time. We were quite certain he'd be cleared for take off as soon as we saw the Dr. today.

The doctor stopped in briefly this AM and was encouraging about Gabe's progress and rather casually suggested he'd like to see him eat 2-3 more times before he left. Here we are four hours later and he just popped back in to check on Gabe's feedings. It would not be normal for him at home to eat 2-3 more times in that short period! Plus, he's a honkin' 21 lb. four month old. He doesn't need to eat that often. Anyway, he has decided that his feedings are not "impressive" enough and he needs to stay until he is eating more. In addition he wants him back on IV fluids.  The bummer of that is they had already taken out his IV lock and now they are putting in a new one.  Here we go again...

What the WHAT???
