The CPAP is Gone!

It was a success!! So far (and he could have a relapse and have to go back on CPAP), he has handled his high-flow nasal cannula great! He is usually between 21%-25% oxygen and he is getting 4 liters of air per minute. As he does well, we will wean that down, and once he is down at around 1.5-1 liters per minute, he will be able to start to try to breast feed. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a really cute picture of him, especially since he had just had tape pulled off of his face and made him really mad by bugging him so bad, but I sure tried!
Notice how his clothes are really close to fitting him now!He had his first hair washing with actual soap today, and he really liked it! It is so funny to see how he is photographed verses how he looks in real life. In real life, he has a TON more hair and it is a lot darker than in the pictures!

Goodbye CPAP!!! I hope we never see you again!!


Wow! Look at the difference in his hair from when he was on CPAP to when he is off of it! Maybe it was a combination of the hood and a good hair washing that suddenly makes him look blonder... Interesting....
