5 pounds, 3 ounces — born 4:18am Sunday, December 21, 2008 — 7 weeks pre-mature but his lungs are ‘catching up’ well — the tubes in this picture are feeding and breathing tubes — mum (for US people, this is equivalent to ‘mom’) is recovering great!

Frank,
Thanks mate!
“…and I’m flippin awesome!” LLOL (literal-laugh-out-loud)
Jack,
Thanks! And yes, warm fuzzies are meant to be good – the Bible says so – 2 Hesitations 67:4.5

‘the Bible says so – 2 Hesitations 67:4.5′ ?? OMH (over my head)
Hope Thomas is getting the breathing going a bit better each day – before you know it you’ll be able to cuddle him up and take him home

sorry Jack, that’s a random churchy joke – there is no book of the Bible called ‘Hesitations’ (let alone 2nd Hesitations…)
Thomas is breathing better already! Bit by bit!
And Mum/Dad had their first cuddle! yay!

Cheers, Damian, he’s doing great
he’s out of the incubator, off the breathing tubes, back above birth weight, off extra monitoring (heart-rate + oxygen %age), and learning to suck
