Look, Ma, no tubes!

Addy is now free of her NG tube and her IV--hooray!  She still has all of the leads hooked up that monitor her pulse, breathing, and O2 sats, but those don't really get in the way of anything.  She graduated to "on demand" feeding, which means that she gets to eat as much as she wants, whenever she wants it.  And, now that she's no longer confined to staying on her tummy, we can even put clothes on her.  Poor kid has had nothing but mostly naked baby pictures so far!

Addy also has a very healthy set of lungs and is not shy about telling us that her incisions are still pretty tender.  They're coming along really well, but it's going to be a little while before they're completely healed up.

We also had 3 more visitors today: Aunt Katie and Uncles Chris and James came down from IL to see us.  Derek had seen them at Katie and Chris' wedding, but I hadn't seen them in person since April so I especially enjoyed getting to see them.
