Chapter 62 Time To Shift

• TEGAN'S P.O.V
• The next week flew by. I hadn't left Elias or my room since returning. I was having some setbacks from training due to having some panic attacks when I got near people.
• I had a routine down with Elias that we now did daily. I had just finished my hands on. I was now allowed to try and feed him two times a day, which was a progress. He still doesn't have the sucking part down without choking so we are taking baby steps. If he chokes while breastfeeding, then he finishes his meal with the tube feedings. That way we know he is getting enough food during the feedings. I had just finished up when the dayshift nurse arrived to give him his daily medicine. He was currently taking probiotics to help his immune system. She would also do his vitals and draw more blood for testing to make sure his levels are still doing well. Once she was done, we got him settled back in the incubator, which was hardly even doing the temperature control since he has managed to control it himself now. He has come so far in such a short amount of time. Erin also was able to get him off the c-pap machine and now only on a normal O2 flow. Which is a blessing. It means he doesn't need the extra support and is able to do the majority of the breathing on his own without a high flow of oxygen.
