Success at 2 months

 Sleeping peacefully after I got used to Sipap

So far Mason's extubation has been a success! It did take him a little bit of time trying to get used to the pressure and air going through his nose and he went cross eyed looking at the mask trying to figure it out. He also put his hand right on the mask as if he was trying to figure out what in the world was on his face. He finally went back to sleep once we wrapped him back up. After an hour and half, they did a blood gas on him and it was good so they left everything the same. He is on Sipap right now with a rate of 30 and was on 34-38% on his oxygen levels. Only other changes today is he is done with hydrocortisone and they increased his feeds to 3 ml an hour. Thank you Lord for prayers and for this time around being a success. So far he is tolerating it just fine! He is 2 months old tonight.
