WOW! It is amazing how much can change in just 16 hours. Last night when we left the hospital at 8pm, Ewan still had his oxygen on and was eating through the feeding tube. But today! Oh how much has changed!!

Yup! His oxygen was off today and he has started taking food by mouth. We are bottle feeding him inside the incubator for the time being so that they can carefully monitor his breathing while he was eating. He is quite lazy and sleepy, so finishing off the bottle took a lot of time and patience. Also, since his breathing was so good, he was able to be held by both of us for the first time. It was the most amazing thing ever!

How’s that for a pretty good day?! So, if all continues as it is, it seems as though he will be out of the incubator tomorrow or the following day. The doctor estimates that it will be about 5-7 days before our little man comes home with us. Let the countdown begin!
