Jude's progress

Jude has come a long way since Sunday the 31st. He's been on a ventilator, under the heat lamp for jaundice, picc'd/IV'd for nutrition & antibiotics, etc.

Well, he's not having any breathing issues anymore. So, no O2 and no monitors. All the antibiotics are done, so they've taken out all the IV's.

He's started eating on hi own, but still has a way to go. They told me that he needs to be able to have a full 24 hour period of normal eating before they take out the feeding tube. Once it's out, he then needs to do another 2-3 days of normal eating before they'll consider releasing him.

We think we're getting close. Maybe by mid-week, around the 17th.
