Some new photos - we're wearing clothes now!
Weston is beginning to perk up. Apparently it takes a few days to sleep off the sedatives and the exhaustion of all he's been through. The nasal cannula was removed today so now he is breathing completely on his own. They were then able to move the feeding tube to his nose to help him learn to take a bottle without the tube in the way. We had a feeding session with an occupational therapist who specializes in helping babies learn to suck properly - who knew such a specialist existed? She got him to take almost all his food at that feeding from the bottle, but it is hard work for him, so we only attempt two feeds per day from the bottle. We hope he'll pick it up quickly!
God has truly blessed us with this little person.
