Well, Zoe had made it onto the nasal canula as of 9:00 this morning.  She is one what they call the high flow nasal canula, which means Zoe is doing all the breathing work on her own but the oxygen that is supplied is humidified which makes it a bit easier for her to breath in and helps expand her lungs.  No more silly cap and tubes on the side of her face.  So far she has been doing great, it's been about 5 hours so far.  The doctors and nurses are just keeping track of how hard she is breathing, so far she's been great, but if it starts to catch up with her she would go back on the CPAP.  The surgeons were in again to check on her and are planning on trying feedings again tomorrow.  This means that the giant tube that goes into her throat would be removed and a much smaller tube would go into her stomach through which the breast milk in pumped.  Jason is holding her right now and is loving every moment of it. He was very relieved last night to see that Zoe still recognized her Papa.  Her morphine is being cut back to every 8 hours and she has done great with that so far as well. 

Zoe's other HUGE event today is that she got her first real bath.  The circumstances leading to the bath were rather entertaining in itself.   I had been holding Zoe and all of a sudden she made a sort of "urpy"  face and her OG tube (the tube into her stomach fro her mouth- Oral-Gastric) came out of her mouth a couple inches,.  I was about to call Donna, the nurse, over to help put it back down, when Zoe made  another face and the entire OG tube came flying out of her mouth and green slime came flying out as well.  I'm not sure who was more surprised me or Zoe.  She looked a little stunned at first and then really happy to not have a giant tube down her throat.  So needless to say, it was time for a bath.  Donna helped Jason and I get ZOe into the tub and she seemed to love it, she was a bit unsure at first but then seemed to really like floating in the water.  We got to wash her hair again, still can't tell if it is curly or not.  To make it even better, the doctors decided to let her try it withour the OG tube, so far so good.  She also got to sit in a vibrating chair for a while tonight in her crib which she also loved,  she was just a few inched from her mobile so she was able to touch it when it spun around.  She is getting very interested in tactile things, she loves Jason's goatee.
