Breathing Tube Out (Hallelujah!)

Hello friends!

I spoke with (a very sleepy) Ashley this morning and she confirmed for me that Devon's breathing tube did come out, hallelujah, and he is breathing well on his own, with just a little oxygen help in his nose. Ashley says he's pretty cranky right now, understandably so, but she's been able to hold him and love on him.

Devon's home in Philadelphia

He is still feeding at full feeds, in fact they have upped his feeds to 22ccs now. This is fantastic news because it means his intestines continue to function beautifully. Since they have put the feeding tube into his intestines, Ashley says there have been no more acid reflux episodes.

On a fun note, Ashley and Ron got to see Bruce Springsteen play for free at a park in Philly this past weekend. What is also interesting is I spelled Springsteen wrong and my spellchecker had the right spelling. I guess "the Boss" is that important that he makes spellchecker!

I will be posting soon about details for Ron and Ashley's up and coming Benefit.

Blessings to you all,

Nicole

Glad to hear things are going better for Devon and his breathing tube is out!
His pictures look so sweet - his eyes look so big and alert as he looks up with love at his mommy :-)
