Hey everyone! Abigail is 11 wks. old & was 37 wks gestation on Wed.(7/2) which one of the nurses told me is considered full term. She will be 12 wks old on Mon.(7/7). Abigail now weighs 6 lbs. 3 oz. at last check. The big news is that Abigail is now on cpap! She went on cpap on the 4th of July. So far she is doing really well on it. When I talked to her nurse this morning she said they turned her oxygen down. With cpap she has oxygen prongs in her nose with a little mask that covers her nose. It is forced oxygen into her lungs, but she does all the breathing by herself. Abigail is such a big girl & is so cute! They encourage her to suck on her pacifier so she is breathing through her nose which makes cpap more effective for her. She still eats through her feeding tube but if she does well on cpap they will start feeding her from a bottle in the next couple days. So there are exciting changes happening & we hope that she succeeds on cpap. Maybe the 5th times a charm. STAY TUNED FOR FURTHER UPDATES!
