It didn't exactly go as planned, but it couldn't have been any better. Originally, the plan was that I was going to go to the hospital and the neonatologist was going to do the switch himself, however, Bryton had other plans. We got a call from the hospital at about 3:35 this morning because he had pulled out his tube and they decided to just go ahead and make the switch then. And he's doing awesome!!! We got to hear him cry for the first time today. And now we can hold him whenever we want- we don't have to get the nurse to help and it's not this big ordeal where we have to be afraid of losing the tube. Granted we still have to be careful, but it's just so much more comfortable for all of us. There are still some things we have to watch out for and there's a chance that he might have to be reintubated at some point but for now he's doing as good as we could possibly hope for. It is just so nice to see his whole face finally. He has the cutest little chubby cheeks!!!
