All I can say is that for the first time in one month and one day, Makoa is tube-free! I didn’t even get to see him today, but from talking with Tiffany, it has been his best day so far. Once his feeding tube came out, he was on-fire, chowing down his bottles. He passed his last big test which was checking him in his car-seat to make sure he could handle it. He passed.

I wish I could do more to help Tiffany. She has been an absolute vision in how she is handling this and taking control of the situation. She has lived at the hospital since yesterday, and God willing, we will all be untied at home as a family sometime tomorrow. I pray that everything goes smoothly tonight and we are able to be discharged with speediness tomorrow. In the meantime, please enjoy these two pictures of Makoa without the feeding tube in. He looks so good!

    Congrats Makoa, I’m sure it feels great to have that thing out! Keep your gameface on buddy and keep sucking down those bottles. Tiff, that sparkle in your eye and your smile came out beautifully in the video of Makoa on your chest in the hospital. You guys are doing great! You are all very lucky to have each other.
