Bath time

Today Quinn's feeding tube was removed, as he continues to eat incredibly well on his own.  The nurses suggested that he might be eating more because of his ordeal, and seemed surprised to learn that Quinn usually asks for seconds of almost any dish.  He is a born foodie for sure, willing to try most anything.  It's also so lovely to be able to nurse my baby again.

With all tubes and such detached, Quinn was cleared to have his first bath in more than two weeks.  The hospital has incredibly cute, child size bath tubs in the rooms.  They are the perfect size for Quinn to splash around in, and get into his usual mischievous game of throwing everything from the tub.  It seemed to feel good to him to scrub off the various adhesives that once held critical lines in place.

We also had the usual visits from GI, PT, OT, and other doctors, all in eager anticipation of heading home as early as tomorrow.  We're keeping our fingers and toes crossed that tomorrow's blood tests show normal results and continued improvement!
