Back on CPAP and doing better










Just a quick update. Morgan is 37 weeks today and is back on the road to being himself. Today they put him back on CPAP from the ventilator and his blood gas was better after they extubated him which is a sign he was definitely ready to get that tube out! He is back up to full feeds and they are also stopping his antibiotic which was from his belly being large and them thinking it might be an infection but all of the the cultures came back negative. As you can see from the pictures Morgan is quite chunky! He is 18 inches long, 6 pounds 10 ounces and has fat rolls everywhere :) which is a nice change from the 1 pounds 14 ounces that he was. He also has a new hair cut in a couple of the pictures from where they put an IV in his head :( Today he was a little fussy so we gave him a pacifier and he was sucking away on it so that makes me think when we start bottle feeding him again he will do very well. So overall he is doing great and I am hoping it is just another 3 maybe 4 weeks before he comes home! The pictures at the top are older ones before he has the hernia surgery and was just on nasal cannula.

Well over 6 pounds! That's incredible! And, I love the picture with the big hand and the little hand. So cute!

Hang in there!
