It's getting ready for chow time

Well, here he is breathing the same air as us. He has been doing that for a few hours today. That is pretty good. The nice looking tube in his nose is a new piercing he wanted to get for his mama. No, its a feeding tube and they put it there because they won't be pulling it out and putting it in, blah, blah, blah, medicine talk stuff reasons. But that means, he might be able to start taking in food, like milk or formula. That is a good sign. Here is some more updates: his heart rate is a little low for a baby, it's like an adults right now, but not in the worrysome category because his other numbers are ok. If the other numbers decline, then they will worry about the heart rate. The neurologist has done an EEG and an ultrasound on his brain and has not made any longterm assessments yet. Yes, there is evidence that the brain was not receiving oxygen and there could be or could not be effects from that. Some babies will recover fully from that they have said. They basically will just respond to Luke's behavior. They will monitor him and go from there. So right now, Luke is in the fighting mode or healing mode, so keep thinking of him. This picture is ok, because he is very cute in person. His little blonde peach fuzz hair and his daddy lips. Also, he is off of antibiotics and the something barnal? This is what stops what could have been siezures and makes him tired. Off of it could mean a good thing. Thanks everyone and hope to see you soon. GO LUKE!!!!!!!
