Staying off the c-pap

Josh has been doing really well off the c-pap so far. Hopefully we have made it past the critical point and he will be able to remain on the high flow nasal cannula. Right now he is on a flow of 2 liters and they will eventually wean him down to 1/16 of a liter. Then he will go home on oxygen with a low flow (no extra pressure). They have also moved his feeding tube to his nose which means he will be ready to try bottle-feeding soon.

Josh has lost a little weight due to the Lasix which is good because he is less puffy. He will probably have to go home on a diuretic to help him with the common problem of edema.
