Happy 3 weeks old little Carter. Every day is a blessing and Mommy and Daddy are so proud of your strength.
Carter has been taken off of the ventilator and is now back on the CPAP machine. He has been doing well and his oxygen saturation has been staying in the high 80's and low 90's. We are so proud of him although he still loves to mouth breath and this does not help the CPAP machine do its job when the air goes in his nose and out his mouth. They have increased his feeds again to 9 mL every 3 hours. He is going to get big fast. Today his weight is 2 pounds and 13 ounces. He remains on steroids for the next 5 days which will continue to help his respiratory system. All of the nurses are in love with him, but how could you not be!
Did someone say "Kangaroo Care", get me outta here!!!!!
So is his "adopted" aunt :) Keep getting stronger, Carter. Can't wait to see you (and your parents) again!
