Mom and Dad are at the hospital with the boys right now. Rachel called for an update and got some great news - Luke has a feeding tube!!! He is tolerating it so far and will start some very small feedings today. His oxygen level continues to be weaned and they are starting to wean his nitric as well. Luke had an echo-cardiogram this morning to check his heart and the pulmonary hypertension is looking better. He will get a chest x-ray this afternoon to make sure his lungs are looking OK after all of the changes and progress made these last few days.
Jack is still doing great. I stopped by to see the boys yesterday after work and I had never seen Jack so active and responsive. He was wide awake and yawning a lot. His dark eyes were wide open and looking around as he smiled between yawns. He kept touching his face and trying to pull at his feeding tube and oxygen line - he's ready to do things on his own and wants to get rid of them! I held his hand and he tried pulling my finger into his mouth - looks like he is liking the feedings and ready for more.
