Send in the Clowns

The clowns came to visit Chase today. He didn't seem to care about their presence and as long as they are not carrying chainsaws I am good with them. Not much has happened today. The baby slept late because he was up all night pulling out his oxygen tube. I think I re-taped that tube to his face at least 7 times throughout the night. I don't think I posted the events of his N.G. tube, well last Thursday he pulled his feeding tube all the way out. I woke up to him squirming around and making noise, not fussy at all so I was just letting him hang out in the crib. Then it sounded like he spit up, so I got up to clean him off but couldn't feel anything wet anywhere on or around him. I looked closer and saw his tube sticking out of his nose. I pulled it the rest of the way out and Chase rolled his little head over and passed smooth out...haha. He looked so peaceful and comfortable without his N.G. tube in, but I had to call the nurse in to replace it. He was less than happy!!

We did start bottle feeding today. He did such a good job, Mom was quite proud! He choked a little so Dr. Kogon (the cute one that looks like a Ken doll) came in to talk to me about doing a suck test. They will give him a bottle and do a number of x-rays to track the flow of the milk to make sure that it is going into his stomach. Chase still has to come off the oxygen, have the suck test and complete the car seat test. I hope we get to leave tomorrow, but I am a little nervous. I know that I will be watching him sleep for at least a month! It is time for me to give him a bath and it will be my first one unsupervised...LOL! Thanks for all the prayers.

Happily,

Mom, Dad, and Switch
