We are continuing on with great progress. Carter is having less and less episodes with his heart rate dropping. They started turning down is flow from his high flow tube that was given Oxygen with pressure and warmth..he did great with continued deceases and they have officially taken him off the high flow as of today (Sunday). He now has a nose cannula with regular oxygen with no pressure and warmth and is doing really well..held him tonight and had 0 episodes (WOOHOO)!
He also has only one feeding tube..he had another tube that would allow him to burp and the air to escape his little body and now he just burps on his own and he gets to figure out to do with all of that.
Weighing in a 2lbs 9oz...he is gaining a little weight..not what they want right now, they would like him to gain more so they are adding some more fortifier to his milk to fatten him up and making me eat more and more and more fat!!! I guess I really have a reason to eat anything now...i will take it!
He is sure showing us that he is a strong little man and what he is made of..so proud of him.
Please keep praying and for all of his little roommates that need our prayers too!
