Good Grades

So Miss Avery had another good day Monday. On Sunday her cpap bump rate was changed to zero which means they are testing her at the lowest level. If she does well with it then they take her off c-pap and put her on a nasal cannula. The nasal cannula is a little less obtrusive and is a step closer to needing no assistance with breathing. Miss Avery of course still has a way to go with all this since the apnea stuff usually continues to week 34 and Miss Avery would only be week 29 as of this past Sunday.

So far Miss Avery seems to be doing very well with the zero bump rate. Monday day no dips just lots off good breathing and good heart rate maintenance. On Monday evening she did have a couple heart rate drops, but it didn't sound like it was anything major. And as of Tuesday she was back to her high stats or as her Daddy calls it she was making good grades.
She was so good that on both Monday and Tuesday we were able to hold her. Both days she was just a stylin' in her new hat. Monday I did kangaroo care and today we just held our little burrito, or actually I held her. Daddy said it's his turn tomorrow. I think he gave me today because we were running late and he wanted tomorrow so he could holder her longer...he thinks he is sneaky, but I'm on to his little game.


Oh and look at Miss Avery's new condo decoration:
