Two days ago baby Dale had had enough with the suction tube in his throat and managed to get his little hand around the tube and pull it out. Needless to say the nurses did get a kick out of this and it was decided they would leave it out and start him on regular feedings. Dale took to the initial feedings so well that we were able to begin breast feeding yesterday.
This of course will involve a bit of learning for both Mom and baby but we are working at it in the hospital while baby continues to heal. The doctors have removed the steady drip of pain killers and Dale is on an as needed dosage. Baby continues to get better by leaps and bounds, much to Mom's delight. I am looking forward to the day he can come home.
Today will be another big day for us as Papa Dale is flying down from Alberta to meet his newest Grandson.
