Today was another milestone day! Andrew and I went to visit Ryan this morning and to our sup rise he was off the CPAP and breathing on just oxygen in his nose. His numbers were also down on the Jaundice and he should be off the lights completely tomorrow, but again the nurses do not promise anything. We arrived at a good time because he was due for a feeding at 12PM. The nurse asked if I had held him yet and I said no, so she then said "that will change today". I was able to hold him for about an hour and rock him a bit, and then at Noon Andrew was able to hold his tube for the feeding of breast milk!.. He is up to over an ounce a feeding which is great news, and tomorrow the IV line which gives him other food if necessary may come out. It's been a great day so far!
