Day 2. 4/1/2014

Weight: 4lbs 3oz

Today was a big day for you, Maverick!

They extubated you (removed the tube) so you are now breathing all on your own!  You're now on a CPAP which is that cool looking fighter jet contraption connected to his baby beanie. That blows pressure to help expand your lungs.


Daddy and Mommy met with the NICU Doctors and Nurses and got updates on your status and the plan for you moving forward.

And at the end of an exhausting day, the Respiratory Doctor and Nurse said you were stable enough so Mommy could hold you for the very first time!!!  It took a lot of effort to get you unhooked and wrapped up but once you were in my arms, you were so content and right where you needed to be.  I will never forget that moment for the rest of our lives.
