We both are so glad that Gabe has been doing so good this week! He is still on the CPAP, but he is stable and hasn't needed to go back to the ventilator! The little guy weighs 2 lbs. 7 oz. and is working on beefing up right now. Dan got to hold him last night. Gabe's mouth kept opening wide while he slept on Dan's chest, which causes the oxygen he's getting to escape through his mouth instead of going to his lungs. Dan kept trying to push his mouth shut, but gave up after an hour when they put him back.
Dan is already such a caring and loving dad. Gabe is really lucky to have such an amazing example to follow as he grows up.
Happy Father's day Dan! Enjoy your day as a new family.

we have a little mouth breather too! :)
ReplyDeletewe try a binky, which she usually loves, and also propping her mouth closed with a beanie baby or rolled washcloth.
it's funny because she only really does it while on cpap. she never does it on cannula. it's like she knows!
