Later this afternoon we got a phone call from his nurse that said that he had pulled the respirator out of his mouth and that they just decided to put him on the CPAP and see how he does. This was something very unexpected, but definitely a major step forward!!
Mike and I went back tonight to see him and we got pictures of his new tubing. He is looking good and is improving. He is now off of all pain medication (he was on morphine while he had the tube in his side and the respirator) and is really starting to wake up. With him waking up he's wanting to be cuddled, but he can't be bundled really yet, so they have put these bean bag type things on him to help keep him still and also to help comfort him.
We acutally heard him cry a little bit too!! It's a little easier to get in and hold his hand now, so I got to do that while he was crying. Mike said that it also looked like he was trying to open his eyes.
Good things are coming. We'll see how he continues to improve.
Thank you for all of your love and support at this time. We appreciate you all!!

Hi Becky!! I'm so happy for the good news! Sounds like Jacob is doing really great! :) Thanks for all of the updates!
That bean bag thing looks pretty cozy. I think I'd like one of those for myself. Looking forward to when we see pictures of you holding him!
