Day 33

Austin is still on the nasal CPAP. He doesn't seem to like it too well; however, he is tolerating it and maintaining good "numbers." During our visit tonight, we were able to watch his weigh in which was a treat. As you can see in the picture above, he was awake, alert and not attached to any breathing equipment while being weighed. We were priveleged to hear a few whimpers tonight which we also captured on video. Because he has had a breathing tube down his throat up until yesterday, this was the first time that we have heard any noise out of little Austin since his delivery.

He weighed 780 grams tonight and is receiving 15 cc's of breast milk for each feeding. We are praying that he will continue to grow and do well with the CPAP. Thank you all for your interest in Austin's progress and for your continued prayers.
