Josh had quite a day today. Not bad, mind you, just stressful for him. They extubated him (took the breathing tube out) around 10:30 this morning, and he is now on a SNIP. This looks just like the CPAP but I guess works a little differently. Apparently, while they were extubating him, his eyes just popped open. YAY! I don't have any pictures yet. He is not keeping them open long enough to snap a picture. All in all, he is still doing well. They won't attempt to do any feeds until after his antibiotics are done. They are due to be finished on Saturday. I'm a little nervous about that!
I found out today that our little blog address has gotten around, so hello to all of you! Keep up the prayers, we still have a long way to go.

Glad to hear that Josh is off the vent again and that he opened his eyes. Two giant steps forward in one day. That's great!!!! Can't wait to see picures. How much does he weigh now?

You are one special little boy. You are such a fighter and very strong willed. I know its been a rough few weeks but you are now 2 weeks old and have been making steady progress. You keep up the good work - you have a MAJOR amount of people cheering you on! Go JOSHUA!!
Love
Michele
