Alex just keeps doing better. He had his tube out of his mouth all day yesterday and did fine, this morning the nurses said he is a little bird with his mouth open. A binkie just doesn't cut it when you haven't eaten for four days. He is getting 9 ml of milk every three hours to see how he handles it. He gulped his first 9 mls down in about two seconds. Then he just feels like he is getting teased and wants more. Hopefully they will advance him pretty quickly if he is tolerating it. He got the IV out of his head and they are finally dressing him (even if you sometimes just want to lay around naked). He is a strong little guy and will keep doing great. We are so excited for him. Sam is excited to have him home so that he can be the big brother. Thanks for all the support.

He looks stronger and healthier every day. Thank you so much for the great updates. Are they letting you guys hold him a lot??
I am so glad that he is doing so well. I pray that you get to come home soon. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.
