He is not sleeping quite as well at night as he might otherwise, but is very happy during the day. He used to have screaming fits of 20 to 40 minutes a couple of times per day. Those are gone. Hopefully he will start sleeping more soundly at night as he gets back on to a regular schedule.
I have to say the hospital did not instill us with a great deal of confidence. We answered the same questions about his prematurity at least five times (but only to four different parties :P). In the end, they were about to release him from the recovery ward when I mentioned that he was four months corrected age. The nurse was a bit flustered because she thought he was seven months and needed to keep us longer. As much as the doctors, nurses, and institutions they work in are quite capable, you really do need to advocate for your child. I can't imagine the numbers of problems that must occur as a result of language barriers.
