We are on CPAP


Yesterday our little boy graduated to CPAP IMV. Breathing with nasal prongs and so far he is coping very well. His oxygen levels have been coming down but it is still early days just hope he doesnt get too tired. Normally they need more oxgen then they did on the othe machine but so far Matt is coping with the same or less. The nurses took some pictures with our disposable camera so we will have to wait till its all finished to see what he looks like when they did it. I think he was giving them a helping hand on taking it out.


We got back yesterday just after he had the tube out he was a little distressed but i managed to calm him down he is now getting wrapped in a muslin wrap and i think he likes it cos he slept all afternoon and only made his little lamb cry when he got his temp taken. Yes he has a little voice at the moment but im sure it will get louder soon. Dad was the first hear his little voice.


I think we are getting him weighed today hopefully upto open cot as now he likes to be wrapped he gets too hot in the isolette but he will loose tummy time in the open cot. He will be able to wear clothes.
