Quinn started to show signs of his old self today as he started squirming around more and pulling on things. The breathing tube was taken out this afternoon and it was quickly replaced with a binkie. He is still getting all of his nutrients from his IV and his swelling from the surgery has started to decrease, although he is still puffy. Mom and Dad got to hold him again today which made everyone feel better. His squeaks and cries are much more hoarse today because of the breathing tube. The cultures are still negative and the doctor's concern over them is decreasing each day. Overall, he's doing well and rooting around looking for milk.
Corbin took all 6 of his by mouth feedings today! It seems the light bulb may have clicked on like the nurses have been telling Mom and Dad that it would. Hopefully tomorrow he'll get bumped up to 7 of 8 feedings by mouth. Corbin is also starting to get the schedule down and is letting everyone know when it's time for his next feeding.
Here's Corbin full after a feeding and Quinn snoozing.
Below are updates from the last few days:
