He took his feeding tube out this morning while he was in the swing. I was especally impressed by this because he was wearing a shirt with mitten sleeves and didn't even have full use of his fingers. But he got it out, and then the doctor came around and said that he's supposed to get all of his feedings from the bottle today, to see what he'll do if he doesn't get topped off via the tube. So we just left the tube out.
He ate pretty well after that, although he seemed kind of confused. I'm sure it felt different without the tube in his nose and throat, and he was trying to figure it out. We'll see how things go the rest of the day.

So far so good. He had a minimum intake requirement for the first 12 hours, and he hit that, so the experiment continues.
