My cousin's bub, Logan, is out of intensive care (he came out of the humidicrib about 2 weeks ago). And they're looking at probably transferring him to a hospital closer to home next week, and he might be home by the end of the month. A few weeks ago he was up to nearly 2 kilos.

My aunt was telling my mum that just over a week ago Logan pulled out his feeding tube (the one that went down into his stomach) and pulled the monitor off his chest. He'd obviously had enough of it all. But apparently it was his pulling off the tape, that had stuck the feeding tube to his face, that made him scream.

That is terrific news. Having gone through it all, I'd be more worried about the bub that didn't pull his feed tube out! I can remember walking into the NIC one time and my son was lying there in his humidicrib with the feed tube clenched in his tiny little hand and waving it about ever so triumphantly as if to say: "look what I found mum".

How old is he now? It's a good time for him to go home since it won't be too hot and he'll have a chance to put some weight on before winter arrives.

He's 7 weeks old today (Tuesday).

Oh, this is wonderful news. And I think you're right, sounds like he's had enough of all that tubes - and that's wonderful news in itself.

YAY!
