75th Day in the NICU Part 2

(Mom)

The second Picture of Drayke ever without a tube. The first was just after he was born. Now, just shy of eleven weeks, we finally got to see what our son really looks like. I think he is adorable.


Looks like he has dads nose & chin and my mouth & eyes. He definately got our best features.


He is now on a CPAP which actually covers up more of his face than the tube did but at least now he can start vocalizing. Since the cords are pretty much atrophied it is going to take a few days before he finds his voice. But he was making the sweetest little noises though. The respiratory therapyst is extremely please as to how well he has taken to his new machine. Drayke is now doing 100% of the work of breathing and he is being a champion breather!

Sigh...I am so in love....
