CPAP is gone!

BIG news for the day...the CPAP is gone! Lauren was doing so well with it that they now just have her on the "nasal canular" which is the plastic tube that goes in your nose and just gives a little pressure. It is a huge step up from the CPAP.

She is still under the billy lights and is getting another round of medicine for the PDA, but after those two things are worked out our last hurdle will be figuring out if she knows how to eat.

When they were changing out the CPAP to the canular they had her mask off and you could see her whole face. I had three nurses huddling around her saying she was the cutest baby they had ever seen! She just looks so precious. The nurse also told me that she thinks she is very strong-willed. She fights them whenever they try to put something on her and trys to pull it off of herself! She is so funny and cute.

Here is a picture I took of her while the billy lights were off and she didn't need her special sunglasses. She LOVES the pacifier and gets mad when you take it away...
