No more IV! — Baby John is progressing well and is showing great improvements with his breathing and feeding. Yesterday we started putting him to breast for the first time and he took to it quite well. The nurses haven’t had to use the feeding tube for several days and have decided to remove it along with his IV that was feeding him glucose due to his low blood sugar. This morning they turned off the lights for his jaundice so he doesn’t have to wear his mask anymore. Every day we’re seeing him smile more and more. His energy is much higher and he has definitely learned how to cry when he’s hungry.

His weight this morning was 5lbs 9.6oz. Tiff and I can’t wait to have him home with us. We’re pretty damn sick of the hospital and hearing the same thing from different nurses every 4 hours!
