Day 5 - Extubation Day

Dakota, Mark and I headed back to Jacksonville Wednesday night to pack better for our stay up at Duke. We got a slow start heading back up to Durham so we didn't get to the hospital on Thanksgiving Day until around 2:30pm. Mark dropped me off and I went upstairs to see my little man. When I walked into his room, I noticed that he was laying on his belly and the nurse asked, "notice anything different?" As I looked closer I saw that he no longer had his breathing tube in. A wave of emotion hit me as I couldn't believe they were already able to extubate him. I walked over to him and the nurse asked me if I wanted to hold him. I guess the look on my face said it all as she realized that I hadn't been able to hold him yet. She immediately picked him up and put him in my arms. I was in absolute heaven. Little Bodee is fighting so hard to get through this!!!
