Lots to talk about tonight.
When we went in to visit Jamie this morning, we were pleased to see that his nasal cannula had been removed. That means that he is completely on his own--no oxygen, no pressure, nothing. He does still have his monitors on, but all signs are excellent. The nurses continue to be amazed at how well he feeds.
The evening visit went well also. I got to change his diaper, and then I fed him. He was a super eater again.
We spent about an hour with him tonight, and then we looked at him through the nursery window. (The ICN didn't have windows, so we're happy to be able to peek in these days.) Generally, Jamie is active and alert but happy. He cries for just a few seconds and then will either settle down or (more often) drop immediately to sleep.
All that the doctors are really watching now is to see that he is feeding well, so since he's doing so well, we're really optimistic that Jamie will be home soon. They haven't, however, given us any indication of a date. That's their usual practice so that no one is given false hope, should a date have to be changed.
