Today has been a great one for Jacob. As his Doctor puts it, "The best day he's had since birth." Jacob was squiring so much this morning that his nurse had to re-tape his breathing tube! He got those tiny but strong fingers under the tape! When he was on his tummy, he kept lifting his head so they moved him onto his side. It's definitely apparent that he's feeling better! Dr. Roan (Jacob's Dr) said he might be well enough to come off the ventilator soon. Maybe in a matter of days! He is also sucking his thumb and on a pacifier! It's so nice to see him feeling good. That gives me great hope for the future!
