Day 57


Another wonderful day for Parker. I love that we're having more good days! He is doing well on his sipap. His rate was decreased to 25 breaths/min and he is maintaining his oxygen saturations in the 90's without additional oxygen. His nurse said this morning she had his mask off for about 25 min while she was working with him and he still kept his oxygen levels up! We know his lungs are getting stronger because his cry is getting louder. He usually doesn't cry a lot except for when he got his bath today. He was screaming! He doesn't like to be messed with. So I snuggled with him afterwards and he was out! His feedings are at 12cc/hr to only his stomach tube. Parker has also been downgraded from his isolette to a bassinet. One step closer to home.
