I can breathe!

After only three days, Ian really didn't either need or want that breathing tube any longer so he ripped it out himself! This was replaced with a new device called a C-PAP, which is a piece of head gear that provides Ian with breathing assistance through his nose. Ian is technically breathing on his own, a great feat after only 72 hours into his life. The nurses take the head gear off every once in a while and thats when Ian get's a facial massage, which he loves!
