Elijah had his pacer disconnected, since the doctors are confident that his heart is strong enough to keep pumping on its own. Meds are continuing to be reduced, and he is breathing more on his own.
He also started getting the good food today. It's only two milliliters an hour, and it's through a tube down his nose directly to his stomach small intestine, but it's the real deal.
And...two poopy diapers! He really is waking up, and all of his body systems are waking up with him. The meconium is working its way out and making space for good things to come!

Best news ever. I've been waiting for you to say he pooped, because I know that means his body is starting to wake up. I love reading your blog to see how he progresses. Thank you technology. The word verification to post this comment is "thrill". Exactly how we feel over here. We love you guys. We look forward to meeting Elijah when he comes home.
