Master of the C-Pap

They took Wesley off the c-pap this morning!!!! Yay for baby!!! They have not officially ruled out the option of him going back on the c-pap, but they are giving him a "trial" off of it. He seemed to be doing well today. His oxygen saturation was good, and he was responding well to the nose cannula. I was rather shocked that this happened so fast. I talked to the doctor last week, and he said it would probably be a rather slow process from here. When they moved him to the c-pap, he was on a pressure of 7. Ideally, he needed to be on a pressure of 5 to move onto the nose cannula. He said it may be a few weeks before we saw any change to his c-pap settings. Then Saturday they changed it down to a 6, and Sunday they changed it to a 5. Then today he's totally off of it!!! I wasn't expecting anything to happen that soon!!! He's a tough guy, that's for sure. He is weighing in now at 8 lbs 12.8 oz and is 19 in long. It's so nice to finally see his face!!! Enjoy the pictures!!!
