Reason to Celebrate

The doctor says we have reason to celebrate today. Justin had a brain ultrasound this morning (they do this for all premies) and everything came back perfect. In the ultrasound they are looking for brain bleeds which is very common in babies at 23 and 24 weeks. They do not expect brain bleeds for babies Justin's age but they check just in case. They have taken him off the CPAP machine and he is doing great breathing with the nasal cannula in regular room air (not needing extra oxygen). They have increased his feedings to a constant flow of a 1ml drip per hour. And, the doctor thinks only one more day on the phototherapy lights.  So, great news today!!!!
