Trying it off the c-pap part three

Third time's the charm, or so we hope. For his two month birthday Josh is trying it on the high flow nasal cannula again. We hope that this will be the time when he is able to stay off of the c-pap for good. They will wait to change his feeding tube to his nose until they are sure he has adjusted well to the high flow.

I'm two months old!

This weekend he also had his second eye exam which came back with good news, he still have immature eyes but no signs of ROP (Retinopathy of prematurity). This is good news and he gets to go another two weeks without another eye exam. Josh also had his first set of immunizations on Saturday and got through them with no side effects.

Earlier this weekend we thought Josh might need another blood transfusion as his hematocrit levels (red blood cell count) was low, but after testing it again it came back in the low range but not dangerously low. The doctors did another test and found that he is producing his own red blood cells now so we hope he won't have any more major problems with anemia.
