His weight is up a little today: 3 lb 8.2 oz. Lenwood is breathing much better. They continued to reduced his vent setting today. He continued to do well so they extubated (removed) the vent this evening and put him on a c-pap. It sits in his nose and sends in oxygen with pressure to help inflate his lungs. It's a definite step in the right direction, but it's not a pleasant one. The c-pap sits in the nose, but as it puts the pressurized air in, it pushes on the nose. He looks like I little piggy with his nose smooshed up. He's not very happy about it.
I made a video of Conrad and Teague singing "Jesus Loves Me" and let Lenwood listen to it. Conrad would sing that to him at bedtime every night when he was in Mommy's tummy. He seemed to enjoy it and settle down when he heard it. Don't turn your volume up too loud. :) The boys are singing loudly so that it would be load enough for Lenwood to hear from the camera.
