Just another stable day for me! Mom and Dad love when I have stable days. Mom has been laying off the Pepsi and I seem to be resting more peacefully. Nobody really knows if it had anything to do with my sleeplessness, but Mom will try anything if it might benefit me in the tiniest way. I'm proud of Mom! Dad and Mom came to visit me tonight and noticed that they had wheeled away the Nasal CPAP machine. I guess they must think I'm stable enough under the hood and are assuming I won't need the CPAP again. I am making real progress. Once my oxygen stays under 40 for an entire shift (12 hours) they will give me another shot at the Nasal Canula. I'm sure I will do better this time since I am getting stronger and stronger every day.
