We hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day weekend! Thank you for the continued postings and prayers! It is still overwhelming for us to know we are surrounded by so much love and support! It is amazing but we are constantly surprised by the blessings we continue to find in the most unexpected places. Funny what happens when you decide to focus on what is right and good instead of the laundry list of complaints.
Kolton is doing well. He has been taken off the C-PAP and put on the High Flow Cannula. The C-PAP kept a constant pressure in the lungs and delivered O2. The High Flow just delivers O2. This means Kolton is doing more of the work to breathe. So far he has not had any apnea spells and we pray this remains the case. He is much more comfortable on the High Flow and doesn't try to pull it off like he did with the C-PAP. His weight remains at 3lbs. His calories may be upped slightly as he is now burning more calories. He will have a second eye exam on Wednesday to check and monitor for any signs of ROP again.
Much love-
The Thompson Tribe
