Just a quick update tonight. Zac is continuing to make solid improvement. Today we've both been able to hold him for quite awhile, and for the first time, he is getting to eat, albeit through a feeding tube! That's pretty exciting and is a good step forward.
Also, just a few minutes ago they stopped adding oxygen to his c-pap, which is that big breathing tube thingy you've seen in some of the pictures. He will wear the c-pap through the night and they'll test him again in the morning, I believe, for blood gas, as they have consistently so far. If all is well, I guess there is a good chance he'll be off the breathing machine completely, which would be great! We'd really like to be able to see him without all the extra tubes around his face. :)
Katy and I rejoice in the seemingly small victories God provides with Zac. And though it's been about a week, time has just flown by and it's not dragging along at all. Before we know it, he'll be out of here and terrorizing the kitties at home! A quick note about the picture in this post. We were getting ready to leave, when Katy noticed he had his hand stuck down his diaper. As Katy said, it's too early for him to be acting like a man.
