When we first arrived for our visit this evening, Jamesie was off of his cannula and back on regular "room air". Then he got mad about something and held his breath, and had to have the cannula back. But by the time we left, he'd been moved back into his regular crib (instead of the warming bed they had him on after surgery), and was doing fine without any breathing assistance.In addition to getting the replogle (stomach tube) out, he also had a couple of IVs removed (the PAL that gave real-time blood pressure readings, and another one that they used for blood transfusions.) I'm sure that felt good as well.
He also had a new toy -- an aquarium that lights up and plays music. He likes to look around, so I'm sure he'll enjoy having something different to see!
Most likely they'll start feeding him a very small amount tomorrow.

I do so enjoy good news.
Wow! He looks a lot like dad in that bottom photo!
I'm so happy for you (and for James) that you had good news to share today. :)
Tanya and Nora -- yes, I think he definitely has a resemblance to Dad! Dad says he doesn't see it, though. :)
