Breathing on his own

Salem was taken off the ventilator earlier today and is breathing on his own. What a trooper. He's a tough kid. Tiny, but tough,

When we went in to see him at around 6:00, he was sucking away on his pacifier like crazy. He's going to be eating in no time, too.

The nurse pulled off his little hat so we could get a better look at him. His hat covers his head and his eyes so he doesn't get over stimulated. he has a bunch of hair. Tree thought it was pretty dark. I think it's blond, just dark blond. We didn't really get a good enough look, though. I'll see if I got a good picture and you can tell us what you think.

Anyway, mommy has been up and around and she and baby are progressing like champs.

Tree will probably start posting some things here soon.
