Today was a HAPPY day! I got a phone call from Jaret. He had stopped to see Bridger on his way to work. When he walked into the NICU he was happily surprised to see that he was no longer on the ventilator!
Yesterday when we left they told us to expect a few more days o the vent, then sometime overnight our little man decided to turn the corner and surprise us all. He is still on quite a bit of oxygen support and still has in the lines through his umbilical cord to his heart. If those lines get bumped or pulled, he could bleed a lot and it could be really bad... Because of this he is still sedated some and we are not able to hold him except that...
This afternoon his nurse was awesome. I was sitting there by him and had been for quite awhile. She looked at the clock and then said...I am off in an hour and you are going to hold this baby before I go...We were very careful and watched his lines extremely close. I got to hold him for almost the whole hour. then she said lets get him back before the next nurse gets here! I love rule benders! So YES! I got to hold him but I am not sure when it will happen again. He opened his eyes for a bit and just looked straight at me. He was so content and I even got to see that he has a dimple on one side. He is a sweet little man!

Lindy, those pictures made me cry...:) That is definitely a HAPPY Day! He looks so little!
Wow!! Great news indeed. Hope you get that nurse again really soon :)
so sweet, I am with Marianne, this made me cry too! He is so tiny! I know Tucker was swollen but Bridger looks teeny tiny compared to Tucker!
Such a sweet baby! So happy you got an hour with him. You deserve it.
