" I drink for comradeship, and when I drink for comradeship, I don't bother to keep count." - John Wayne

November 27th: Day two of noting but bottles today. We are all beyond tickled pink at this. I think at this point it would be weird if he didn't drink all of his bottle. This is so good for so many reasons. 1. I get to see all of his face on a regular basis 2. There are 3 back to back doctor's appointments in DC I do not have to go to now and either be off work or have to have someone else take him 3. He is going to be looked at an treated like a regular baby when we go out now (again I am thankful he just has the NG tube and I pray for the babies at the rehab and hospital with the trachea tubes and colostomy bags).

Tank trying to remain the baby

      Today after the 6pm feeding we took out the tube for changing and will put a new one in if Duke needs it. Untill then he is tube free and to me he truly looks like a little baby, but my little injured bird. I hope he keeps everything up because I do not want to put the tube back in for my life!

(His cheeks will de-red soon)
