This afternoon, at 3:30. they took the breathing tube out. It was funny because just this morning, they said it wouldn't be able to happen today. His numbers had been dropping this morning, so I'm not sure what made them change their mind and try. They left in the tube in his chest just in case they need it again (it helped somehow reinflate his lung). It's been 5 hours now and he's doing great! At first he was exhausted and fell asleep. Then he woke up and seemed happy, almost smiled, and was squirming like crazy! Now he's back asleep, hopefully for the night, eventhough the nurse still has to come in and look at him.
I haven't been able to hold him since Thursday, so hopefully tomorrow they'll take out the tube and he will be a bit more mobile. They took a chest xray about an hour ago, but have not looked at it yet, or told me at least. They said if it looked ok, he'd get to eat. They also took out the feeding tube, so I guess he'll get a bottle! The first one since Wednesday!

Santa visited, again!! He got a stuffed Mickey Mouse and two toys from him! So far, he's gotten more presents from the Santa up here than we got him! This picture is right after they took all the tubes out.
