Day 58: Back on CPAP!

Another great day for Lily! She was weaned from SiPAP to CPAP today, so she's doing even more breathing on her own. SiPAP has extra little jets of air, to remind preemies to breathe. Since lily hasn't had any alneas or Bradycardia's, they moved her to CPAP... Just positive air pressure. It's the exact same thing that people with sleep apnea wear- only preemie sized.

Otherwise lily is tolerating her feeds, and Gaines another ten grams last night. Both Sara and I held her for an hour today, and all is well in the world! Really a great feeling to be back in 'boring days'. But very cognizant that we are still in the nicu... just hoping for no more land mines!
