Carter had a very good day today. He has continued to do well on the CPAP at the lower settings. He is also doing well with his 21 mL of milk every 3 hours. So much so that they took out his PICC line today and stopped his TPN. The PICC line has been in for 21 days so it was becoming an infection risk. He gave the PICC team a hard fought battle in getting the line out. Although it is not painful don't tell him that because he cried faintly the whole time. He does have one more dose of steroids that they are going to give through his feeding tube. Without further ado if you have not already hit play on Carter's first video which I am sure most of you already have this is the first time he sucked. He quickly desaturated because he forgot to breath but eventually he will learn to do both at the same time. Way to go little man, you make us proud!

Suck Swallow Breath in no particular order
