Doing good and almost ready to go home

Taevin is doing so good! He now has all the lines out. (except for the NG tube) He has started eating by bottle and has even tried nursing a few times. He does pretty good with the bottle and takes most of it by mouth but is given some by NG. He hasn't really figured out what to do during breast feeding, most of the time he just falls asleep. Oh well, I guess well need to practice a little more. If things continue to go well we are hoping to go home some time early next week. He will still have the NG tube but at this point i'll take it. Both Damian and I will have to learn how to place the NG and learn to use the pump that delivers the milk. We also have to take a CPR class.

This is a picture at a week and a half after surgery. You can see his incision is till taped up but healing well.
