(1,493 grams or 3 lbs. 4.7 oz.)

My chest x-ray looked a tiny bit better, but my ventilator settings look great. They actually tried to get me ready for the next step in my respiration, the CPAP. Well, it didn't work. I just stopped breathing on my own. No worries, they monitored it closely and I'm fine. It could be because my nervous system just isn't ready for that (or Apnea of the premature), I could have reflux which kept a valve closed or it could be the morphine I had today. You see I got a new "perc" line today, and they gave me morphine for the pain and it just knocks me out! They'll try the CPAP preparations again tomorrow. We'll be sure to keep you updated!
