Smooth Sailing

It's been a week since my roller coaster excitement, but now I am cruising on the yacht. Earlier in the week, I had an episode where my breathing passage got clogged with a mucus plug and I kinda froze up. The nurses had to use that breathing bag while they suctioned me. Talk about a scary sight - it was so Grey's Anatomyish. Other than that, I have had a pretty good week and have not had any other episodes. I celebrated my first month of life on Thursday and am 29 weeks 2 days gestational equivalent age today. I worked my way back up on my feedings and am actually getting 2cc's more than last Sunday, so I am up to 22. I weighed in at 2lbs 6oz today. I am still on the ventilator, but my doctor has been letting me get my rest and grow a little more before we try breathing on my own again. Tomorrow is test day, so we will see how things go.

I want to send a Happy Birthday shout out to my God brother Li'l Nic, my Uncle Nick and my friend Nicole. It's like Tony, Toni, Tone, but instead Nic, Nick, Nicole...lol. Sorry I missed your party Li'l Nic, but thanks for the goody bag - I can't wait to play with my miniature Hummer truck.
