We Don't Need No Stinkin' Tubes!

No more feeding tubes! Sloan, Rocco and Jagger decided that they could do without them so they just pulled them out themselves. Madden was a little more patient and let the nurse take his out. All the babies are doing well without them and nippling all their feeds. Jagger and Madden were both taken off their oxygen today for a trial. As of tonight, Madden was back on oxygen but on a very low flow. Hopefully it will only be a couple of more days and he will be on room air also. Rocco is doing great since his surgery. He was taken off the vent on Friday and they have weaned his oxygen back down to what it was before his surgery. Thank you so much for all of your prayers for him. The nurses have said many times how he has done so much better than expected...we give all the glory to God. Alot of steps forward today...we even learned that Sloan may be coming home on Tuesday and Jagger later in the week! Of course that could change if they have any bradycardia or apnea spells...please pray that they don't. We are so ready to have them home! We had a little taste of what it will be like today because we were able to put all the babies together for our first family picture (they were quite of few takes...and really I don't know if we got a decent one where someone's face wasn't covered by someone else's hand, etc.) Check it out.

Sloan is playing peek-a-boo and Rocco is already filling his role as the big brother! I can't believe we actually caught this on film....too funny! (Click on pic to see a better view)
Could Momma and Daddy at least look at the camera!
This will have to do!
