Days 48 and 49

Hooray! Zachary is off the CPAP again! They put him on the nasal cannula this morning. Mommy and Daddy are so proud of him. So far so good! Please pray that little Zachary does well on the nasal cannula and doesn't have to go back to the CPAP. The doctors say that if he has to go back on the CPAP, they will run some tests and check to make sure his airway is clear. If he stays on the nasal cannula he may graduate to the Level II NICU as early as next week. Whoo hoo!

As for Mommy and Daddy, Kim's allergies are getting better, but Stephen has been sick and has had to stay home and not visit Zachary. He's doing better and has been on antibiotics for 48 hours so he plans to visit our little one tonight.

Zachary now weighs 3 pounds, 8.2 ounces and measures 16 and 3/8 inches. He is getting 28 mls of Mommy's milk over a 45 minute period, every three hours. He's doing so well.

That's about all that's new. We hope that all of you have a wonderful weekend.

Love to all!
