Here is Cooper with a little less hardware. He is breathing on his own, but won't eat. The white tube in his nose is his new feeding tube. We try with a bottle, then dump it in the tube and it goes right to his stomach. He has a therapist that comes in to exercise his lips and get him to suck. One of Dads facinations with baby lambs and calves is how they know where to find their food. I guess Cooper missed that first instinct with a feeding tube. He'll get there. As soon as he can drink 2 oz in a feeding he can come home. He is a little more active, but still catching him with open eyes is rare.
