The extubation happened this morning at about 9, and it seems to have gone off without a hitch. We’ve been in, and we’ve both been able to hold him! It feels so great to have him in our arms.
He’s still getting a little supplemental oxygen through the nose, but that’s totally normal. It’s just a normal way of helping him make the transition.
