Friday when we showed up we were told that Bodee pulled out the tube that was going into his stomach to suck out all of the gases. Guess he figured that since the breathing tube was out, this one needed to come out as well. They left it out as he seemed to be doing great without it in. Talk of actually feeding him has begun, although they still don't know when. Sounds like they will feed him through a tube in his nose at first in order to make sure he gets just milk and not air bubbles that come from sucking from a bottle. They were worried too that his sucking reflex may not be developed but you will see in the pics, his is working a pacifier pretty well. The other surprise that I got today...was that I was able to give Bodee a sponge bath. We washed his hair and wiped him down and he fell fast asleep. He looked so peaceful. I can't believe how far he has come in just 6 days! What a stud!
