Yay! A very happy day for me.

I know it's only a small step- but it was huge to me! I walked in this afternoon to see Luke and he was off his CPAP and only on a nasal canula! I was not expecting this for a few days so I was ready to jump up and down :) He looked very comfortable on it too. Tomorrow we find out if his PDA is closed- I hope we can start feeding him- he was starving today, crying his poor little head off for his paci. My nurse today let me kangaroo him too- it made my afternoon.

I also just have to say that I love Pennsy- I have never really dealt with the hospital before for any reason, but I am so happy to have Luke there. I have loved everyone there caring for my son, they have been so wonderful. If he has to be somewhere but with me, I'm glad he is where he is.

Hey Kat- Even though I've never commented before, I do check this site to see what baby Ben & now baby Luke are up to. I wanted to say I am so happy to read that you got to kangaroo little Luke today. He must have looked so cute all snuggled up with his little nasal cannula on. I pray that he can eat- and go home soon. Looking forward to the first pic of Ben & Luke together!

Luke is a strong little guy! He must get that from his Mom who has been so strong and postive!
