Yeah, the breathing tube is out!!! This picture is of Ben's first breath on his own after 7 weeks with a breathing tube. We were really nervous if he would have the strength to do it because so much is riding on it, (we were looking at going back to surgery otherwise, egh!). The tube came out on Saturday at 9:40 am and being a little superstitious by now we didn't post the news sooner for fear of jinxing our good fortune. You might remember the two other times the tube came out he went into severe distress within the first hour, but this time a day and a half later....he is still doing great!!! He is enjoying having a binkie again and his vitals all look pretty good. The only sad part is he has a serious sore throat and not much of a voice; we still have never heard our baby cry but are strangely really looking forward to it! Way to go Benny, we knew you could do it!
