Breath of Fresh Air

The C-PAP came off of Rohen today, and he is breathing all on his own! Seeing him without all that stuff around his head is wonderful. I got to hold him again today, and I loved every minute of it. Matt saw him open his eyes while he was on my chest, so I'm hoping he will open them again soon so I can see. They are increasing his food intake every three hours now, and he should be eating about an ounce at each feeding by tomorrow.
The MRI results came back, and there are no obvious signs of trauma. It is still really just going to be about waiting and watching. I felt good about what the doctors had to say though. Often times no news is good news. They still haven't given us any indication as to when he might come home. I think now that he is breathing on his own, if we can get him to eat on his own there should be no reason why he can't come home.We are seeing improvements every day.
So thankful that God is watching over him, and that he is so loved by so many.
