Day 42

Day 42

Jackson Day 42: 1210 grams or 2 lbs 11 oz. gained an ounce! They were able to wean the CPAP support and have changed him to a high flow vapotherm cannula. This provides a high flow of oxygen to help keep his airway open and also heats and humidifies the oxygen. Another step forward! If he does well on this then they will wean him down to get him on a low flow nasal cannula. Right now he is getting 2 liters of oxygen per minute. It is likely he will come home on oxygen, but needs to be under 1 liter before that can happen. He is getting more and more alert everyday. And stronger too. They have encouraged us to start doing range of motion exercises with him to help his muscles and joints get strong and form correctly. It is a good day for Jackson! FOJSP!!!
