Once again, we had many visitors. Many thanks to the Doyles for sending Angela with an armload of tasty and nutritious food. We were also delighted to see Susie and the other Sean who stopped by en route from Bloomington, IL, to their home in Colorado just to see Hank.
As Hank's medication levels drop, we are seeing increasing activity from him. We each spent time holding him and offering him a finger to suck. His sucking is probably not strong enough for a bottle, but it is another step in the right direction. It will be stronger tomorrow.
They removed the cannula today, so he is breathing without any assistance at all. This also means that we can see more of his beautiful face. His vital signs were strong all day – no alarm bells!

Look at that cleft chin. So adorable! I've been following along with the blog updates. And I'm hopeful Hank's recovery continues to progress in the right direction!
We are happy to hear he is doing so well. We hope the best recovery for baby Hank. Hope to see him soon.

Thanks so much for setting this site up and keeping the wonderful developments and photos coming. We can't wait to meet Hank in person, but until then, we definitely feel like we're already getting to know him. That chin is adorable!
Sending lots of love and sunshine from Southern California!

He looks very content and healthy! We are so glad he is improving so quickly. We wish we could be there for support but are definitely sending good thoughts your way.
