Hays off the CPAP!!
Mason for those who haven't seen him in a while


Today was supposed to be the third attempt at extubating Will, but his doctor decided not to try. He believes that Will is having trouble breathing off the vent because the cartilidge in his airway is still soft and collapses when he's off the vent. There's no miracle remedy for this except getting bigger and stronger. So they are going to wait until Friday to try again. I was actually really glad that they didn't try today because i just didn't have a good feeling about it. Not sure if it was mother's intuition or if I'm just a scaredy cat, but either way I was right!


Other than that, it's been a pretty uneventful day (in a good way!!) I got to hold Hays for a very long time today and loved every minute of it. Both boys increased their feedings, Hays is up to 7 cc and Will is at a whopping 11 cc! Will still weighs 3 lbs, but Hays is up to 2 lb. 6 oz. Grow, boys, grow!!!
