Well, I didn't do so well on the new ventilator settings. I had Apnea, which is to say I stopped breathing. I guess I wasn't quite ready. They'll keep my settings as low as I'll let them and keep trying to wean me off. I'm handling 20 cc's of Mom's milk without too much trouble and I'm pooping all by myself. They did give me a little caffeine today to help my breathing and man, was I wired. I wouldn't close my eyes and my heart rate sped up. Mom went skin-to-skin with me and I finally relaxed a bit. You think I'd be able to handle it with all of the Pepsi that I get from Mom's milk! Other than that, I'm doing great! Mom and Dad aren't disappointed at all, they want me to progress as safely as possible.
