As of last night

This is the Jack we left last night. He has had his oxygen off a couple of days, and everything unhooked from his hands. Unfortunately for the little guy, he has to be under the bili lights, just as a precaution and I feel so bad for him. He tries to rip off the little mask all of the time. Poor guy. When we hold him, he just sinks into this deep sleep and you know he is relieved to be out from under the lights.


Tyson got to meet his brother again- this time Jack was awake too! Tyson kept giggling and saying things like "oh look, he moved his fingers!" It was pretty cute.


Tyson loved giving Jack his binki. Jack is becoming a champ binki sucker, which is good, because we don't want him forgetting how to suck on something while he still can't eat.


All in all, Jack is doing really well. The surgeons say he is right on track. Now it's just a waiting game; waiting for his stomach and bowels to work so we can feed him.
He is such a cutie.
