WIDE AWAKE

Trev, is doing very well, he is now on a Bubble CPAP with zero ventilator breaths for assistance! He just has a constant air flow going thru the cannula in his nose. We are very proud of our little boy and the progress that he has made. Trev now weighs 1680 Grams (3 pnds 12 oz.) He has grown so much and continues to grow every single day. Jannell and I stopped over at the hospital on sunday to see him, He just stared at us the entire time. Anytime that Jannell and I would talk to him he would open his eyes and follow us the best he could with his eyes. A pre mature babies eye muscles are still not fully developed so it is difficult for him to focus for a long period of time. They dropped his oxygen PEEP setting to 6 today down from 7 as they are continuing the weening process one step at a time as his lungs develop strength every day. His next stage will be the high flow nasal cannula and we are looking forward to this day. The only medication that they are giving Trev is Theothln, which opens up his airways to help him to breathe.
