We apologize for the "pause" in posting. We got some much needed rest.
Daniel is doing well. He was taken off the nasal cannula and put on CPAP on Tuesday because he was struggling with breathing. It is very rare that a baby goes from the vent to the nasal cannula. Daniel gave it his best shot.
CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) delievers pressurized to a baby's lungs and assists the baby with breathing but does not breathe for the baby. Daniel is breathing on his own.
Daniel has started "eating". Daniel is being fed one teaspoon of breastmilk every 3 hours through a feeding tube. This is not his only source of nutrients, he is receiving nutrients and lipids (fat) through his IV as well.
Daniel gained 3 ounces. His current weight is 2 pounds, 3 ounces.
