Last night I got to hold Jay for about two hours. He slept the whole time and sat at 21% (room air) for pretty much most of it. He has no IV's right now!!! Hopefully he can stay that way for a while. I know he might need something along the way but for now I'm just enjoying him being free from needles and being poked.
The fact that he's doing so well on the CPAP means that his lungs are truly improving. He's getting stronger everyday. There are moments when he gets lazy still but the nurse last night told me that he's still young and that is common.
They've been adding EnfaCare to his milk and he is now tolerating it. So I hope he will start to gain some weight now. He working harder on the CPAP so he's burning more calories and he's not getting the TPN through IV so he dependent on this milk and EnfaCare to gain.
