CPAP

Today Matthew's neighbor, Nathan, was in the middle of a procedure when I got there.  When his mom got there she was given some sort of bad news  He was moved from a crib back to an isolette.  It was a reminder that the NICU is a roller coaster even for babies like Nathan who were born full term.

The Good

Today Matthew was switched from NIPV to CPAP.  His tubing is the same, but he doesn't get breaths from the CPAP, just continuous pressure.  He has been doing well on it so far, so we are hopeful it stays that way!  Matthew also tolerated his feeds well today, and is up to 32cc.


The Bad

Matthew's weight and height seem to still be a little bit of a mystery.  He hasn't consistently followed the growth charts, and is a little all over the place.


The Ugly

No Ugly today for Matthew - fingers crossed it stays that way
