Not much to report today. We're all holding steady. The doctor weaned Kennedy down to 1L on her cannula and she is still on 21% oxygen(room air). Tomorrow he plans to wean her down even more. This should help with her stuffy nose. The cannula is very dry air as opposed to the CPAP which is very humid. The climate change caused her stuffy nose, which prevents her from being able to suck on her pacifier. She was a very sad baby this afternoon when she wanted her pacifier but couldn't have it. Her nurse had me hold her and it was a wonderful feeling to have her stop crying. She switched from mad to happy just by me holding her.
The doctor did not make any changes on Drake. His CO2 level was a little higher than his last check. Therefore, he is staying on his new lower CPAP level of 4 and they will check his levels again on Thursday. If all goes well, he will be moved to cannula by the weekend. Last night he even held his pacifier with both hands for quite some time. That pacifier makes for one happy baby!
