It's been a big day for Liam. His cpap was lowered from 6 to 5 and is stable and showing no signs of a colapsed lung. He was also moved into a crib today like a big boy. He weighs about 6lbs 9oz now. I love that we can put his own clothes on him now and hold him whenever we want. It's such a huge blessing for us. Sunday is his 1 month birthday and for his birthday/moving into a big boy crib we bought him a crib mirror by sassy so he has something to look at and talk to. He also has a mobile on the way from home as well as a huge load of cloathing and blankets because i just can't wait to dress him up. We're supposed to start bottle feeding monday so thats a plus. Aunt Rose, Uncle Cliff and little Stephanie are comming up to visit us and meet Liam for the first time. It'll be a great visit. Like a typical mom even though he's in good hands, I'm worried that something might happen. He has never been on cpap of 5 before and were pretty scared. I called the hospital last night after we got to the Ronald McDonald House and again tonight. I just couldn't help it. Things can go from great to very bad in a very short time for babies with CDH and there are so many unknowns. Hopefully all the research studies their conducting will lead to answers one day and we'll know what causes this and how to prevent it. Today has felt twice as long as its been and Im so glad its over.
