Dear Samuel,
Just a quick update tonight....
Another "milestone" today. You were switched over to "high flow". So, instead of the CPAP machine now you just have a "high flow" of oxygenated air. (Wikipedia definition: Humidified high flow nasal airway respiratory support is a method of delivering a high minute volume of respiratory gas via nasal cannula. The respiratory gas is heated to near body temperature and humidified, usually to saturation vapor pressure.) This is slightly different than the CPAP you were switched to yesterday, in the fact that it's less invasive (so to speak). You are around 25% for your O2 levels on the new high flow method tonight, but were as low as 21%!

Weigh-in tonight had you at approx. 2 pounds 3 ounces (I say approximately because there may have been some rounding involved).
When I was there tonight, I experienced a "first" with you. I was there for slightly longer than one hour and you had Zero Alarms. That has never happened for me during your lifetime! It was pretty cool.
Otherwise, not a ton of news today.....And No News is Good News.
Love,
Mom and Dad
