cpap= continuous positive airway pressure, it keeps the air sacs in a babys lungs open, by preventing them from collapsing after each breath.
so today i walk in and the nurse announces that Trevor is going to be taken of his cpap. i'm happy but tell her that i'm not sure he's ready. remember he turned purple yesterday. she says he'll be fine, that they will just test it out, if they need to they will put him back on it. so they take him off it. i get for the first time to see him without his hat and his eyes open. (the last time he was off cpap his eyes were still closed) he was the cutest, just addorable, i just kept looking at him, he looked so different he always has a hat on. then i went to lunch, came back and he was on cpap again. ( i was only gone 30 min) it seems that when i was gone Trevor forgot to breath 7 times. so it was decided to put him back on cpap and they will try this all over again next week. the only good thing was i didn't have to watch him turn purple, that just makes me crazy with worry. as far as the reflux they upped his caffine. hopefull that works because every time he forgets to breath i get scared to death. anyway i got to hold him for about 2 hours, which was great. i also got to change 3 poopy diapers, the nurse made the comment that he's plumbing is working great! i can tell you that there has never been a more truthful statement.:)
