Breathing on his Own?

Tonight we had a great achievement. Jacob was taken off of all breathing assistance. This is only a trial so we are prepared for him to go back on if things do not work out as well as we hope. There are a couple of things that we are looking forward to tomorrow and the day after. First Jacob will be off all medications on Tuesday, and possibly tomorrow Becky will be able to begin feeding him herself. Soon he will also be moved from the $60,000 bed he has been sleeping in to the "tupperware" crib (the traditional newborn bed). Once all of this is done, we are looking at Jacob coming home after 2 consecutive days of weight gain while eating on his own. Hopefully by the end of the week! Here are some pictures of tonights visit.

I'm so glad to hear he's improving so much, and the pictures are adorable!

Ain't no need to watch where I'm going, just need to know where I've been.
