Edward is sure a fighter!!! He continues to beat the odds on everything.... His oxygen flow remains the same at 3 liters per minute but his actual percent of oxygen he is getting keeps going down, it was as low as 29% today and he is currently at 30% with his night nurse thinking of lowering him again to 29 or maybe even 28!!! The magic percent is 21, that is what we breath, so this tells us his lungs are SLOWLY getting better. Remember he is only 35 weeks old today, so he is still 5 weeks Dom his due date and the lungs aren't fully developed until 37 weeks anyway.
No weight tonight, the night nurse will weigh him in later tonight so you will have to wait until tomorrow for that!
Edward continues to nipple better everyday, he went from 2 nipple feeding a day to once every 3rd feeding... So that is good news.
We just hope that we continue in the right direction !!!!
