Today is Trevor's fourth day on the c-pap and he is doing great! They haven't had to change his settings at all. His feeds are up to 30 ccs which is one ounce. Without the respirator in his mouth, you can hear him cry very faintly. The next step is a nasal cannula instead of the c-pap. This is what you see adults who need oxygen wearing. Once he gets switched to that, then he will be able to bottle feed. The nurse said it might be a week or two (I'm not sure what the requirements are to be on the cannula). His weight is up to 3.5 pounds!
