8 Days Old - Jonathan's First Feed!

20th January 2011

It was a big day for Jonathan today!

First, he got his breathing tube removed - he recovered well from being sedated yesterday from the MRI.



Then, he got to have the very first feed of his life!  Before today, he was being fed through a drip because the gastro surgeons had to make sure that his gut had recovered from the operation and the stoma was working properly.

The first attempt to feed him using a syringe was a bit messy, and Jonathan didn't look too impressed:


So they tried to get him to drink from a cup instead:


And the teddy that Por Por Emily bought him keeps him company when we're not there:
