We have good news to report today. Luke graduated from his CPAP to the Nasal Cannula. The Nasal Cannula provides extra oxygen without the extra pressure that the CPAP did. The Nasal Cannula is smaller, softer and less obtrusive to his face and especially his little nose. Luke had an attempt at this a few weeks ago, but didn't do very well, so it is great that he can handle this now, it is a big improvement. This also means that I can hold him skin to skin with ease. The CPAP was always in the way before, so this will be VERY nice for both of us.
Since Jeremy and I still have cold symptoms we couldn't be there to witness the switch over. However we did receive some nice reports from his Godmother with how nice it is to see his whole face and head. That's right, no more hat is needed to hold his air tubes in place. His hat was always big and would cover part of his face. Apparently Luke has been touching his face a lot today and tonight with the change.
I can't wait to see him and especially hold him without all the extra gear on.

Melinda & Jeremy,
Peggy Morgan gave us the website so we could keep up on Luke's progress. Just wanted you to know that we are praying for your family and for Luke's progress to get big and strong enough to go home with you. God Bless you all!
