Day 46 - Samuel Update

I don't have much time but I had to share the news. Samuel is at room air (21%) on the cpap!!!! During the last couple of days he was at 28% which was big but overnight he gradually went down 7% which is never the case with him. Samuel is doing so well. He graduated into a big boy crib (which is a little bigger than a bassinette). He looks so small in it compared to how big he looked in his isolette. He is now wearing all kinds of comfy clothes. I got to hold him yesterday and work with him during his physical therapy appointment. He did so well with his exercises. I am so excited!!! There is an end in sight! Also yesterday he did well with the pacifier. Usually his oxygen saturation drops (he desats) when he has a pacifier in his mouth but he did great with it yesterday and he was sucking like any baby would on a pacifier. His heart rate drops are happening less as well as his desats and when they do occur, they are self recovered and he doesn't require any stimulation. We are so proud of our little boy!!!!

He seems to always be awake when we come to visit.
