A great day of firsts for Will praise God. I'm going to put loads of pictures and a few videos up to

describe, but in short:
1. They removed the ventilator, and he's breathing fine.
2. They started him on milk - from a bottle ! Totally unexpected, as we thought they would use the tube.
3. Jules got to cuddle Will
4. Will was opening his eyes big time
5. He cried (a nice kind of quiet kind - the type that doesn't quite wake Dad up in the middle of the night).
Piccies first.

The video's are just as good and exciting as the pictures.
Will's first cry
Will's first bottle feed
We have again spoken to the specialist about the problem and in short, they don't know. They are keen to see if he begins to process the liquid unaided first. If he does not, they will need to commence a more invasive form of testing to determine the issue. This will probably start with some form of Cat Scan of the bladder & associated system. Not sure how long before they decide to do that. Once he has proven to himself stable, it is lower risk to move him around, therefore lower risk to do the tests. Anyway, we must continue to be patient and prayerful, and must wait for God's timing on a resolution.

This bought tears to my eyes with joy and relief to see such photos, the video's and Jules giving Will a nurse, just a fantastic day. I thnak God and ask for continued blessings. All my collegues at the hospital like regular updates and are also waiting to see if the fluid goes down many theories go around. I am just so happy for this great 'day of firsts'

Will Turner!
You've had my tear ducts working overtime this week! Thanks for the tears of joy today!
I see there's no holding back on that bottle - I'm sure Dave will have something to say about that.
I'm kicking myself that I don't have speakers on my computer, but you LOOKED like you were giving that first cry a good go!
How was that first cuddle Jules?
Love Saima
I don't know whether to smile or cry... am doing both right now!!! Praise God for his goodness. I'm just thrilled for you all. What joy to hold Will for the first time - he looks really cute :-)
My eyes just fill w/ tears when I looked at the video. He longed for your touch, daddy ! Such an angel. Though I haven't talked to you folks, I seem to know your family for a long long time already ever since last Saturday. Baby Wil is always in my prayer, and for sure, GOD will show HIS miraculous power on this little boy.
Jules. It was absolutely LOVELY LOVELY LOVELY to see you holding Will. Made my heart squeeze! Love yas. G
