Step forward or back?

Although they keep telling me it is a step in the right direction it just feels like we are stepping back a little. Henry now has a feeding tube in place that will help him to get the extra calories he needs to get off of the synthetic nutrients. By Thursday they think he will be ready to nurse and then supplement the remainder with the tube feed. The Nurse Practitioner said in her most optimistic opinion we will be looking at discharge the first part of next week.
