As of 5 p.m. Rhys is still on CPAP! The doctor said this is "excellent" and very unexpected. Rhys started out on 100% oxygen and has been weaned down to low 80s. He is maintaining his sats, which is unbelievable! He dropped his sats into the 70s when it was time for his breathing treatment. After the treatment they had to pull out the handbag to bag him back up because he did not appreciate their efforts. The doctor happened to walk by with all the bells dinging. With a laugh he said to me "you didn't think it was going to be easy did you?". To be honest I did not know what to expect, but easy wouldn't have been part of it. Rhys is resting comfortably (well as comfortable as you can be with a wind storm blowing through your nose) and satting in the 90s with O2 in the low 80s. Hopefully he will be able to maintain his progress so he doesn't have to be re-intubated. The ninja bear also got a belt upgrade today to a green belt!

Way to go Rhys! This is HUGE step for you! Reading your posts bring back so many memories of Olivia being put on CPAP. She went to CPAP and never looked back. I love all of the pictures that you have posted and I think that the Ninja Bear is such a great idea. We will keep praying for you.

Rhys,
Contgrats on being a big cousin!! So exciting! You will have to teach little Max the ropes. YAY for Cpap. We know how awesome these milestones are for you. You are always in our prayers. Hopefully one day we will be able to meet.
Way to go Rhys! Hope he's still hanging out on CPAP! Our babies hated CPAP. It doesn't look very comfortable! Our babies went back and forth from CPAP to the vent for about 3-4 times. We were always told that any time off the vent is great exercise for their lungs. Hope he keeps up the great work!

That's fantastic! I'll keep on praying!
