A REAL Boy!

Big day today!  Baby Z was disconnected from all, that is right folks ALL, oxygen support AND they stopped his morphine AND took out his Pic-line - the last of the IV's.  So as of right now he is free of all support.  They just have a few monitors on him.  Dad kept saying "He's a boy!  A real Boy!"  from Pinocchio.  It was fitting - he has no more strings attached - well besides the two monitors -  but no more life-supporting strings.  He is doing it on his own and doing it well.     

Granted this is not the best picture of him - he was in a milk coma - but it was the only one we got today of his "clear" face.  Did I mention I am breastfeeding him now and he is eating wonderfully and going into milk comas!!  Life is real good right now.  Just need him to fatten up a bit.
