A Little Optimism

Nicholas is doing okay today.  He had a couple of spells where he decided to hold his breath but Dr. Cox said that is not uncommon with babies.  Other than the 2 spells he's had a good day.  Nicholas' x-ray looks a lot better today according to his nurse.  She said it's not perfect of course but it has improved.  As a result, they're going to keep Nicholas on the same routine he's on now and hopefully he'll be able to try the SIPAP again.  Dr. Cox also stated that he does not consider Nicholas on the ventilator right now because his settings are much lower than they would be if he were on the ventilator.  Nicholas currently weighs 3lbs2oz.
