Yesterday was a "little" tough. Sean had been breathing on his own for over 24 hours with only the assistance of the bubble C-pap machine (continuous positive airway pressure).
He got tired of breathing on his own, so last night the Doc decided to give him additional assistance. He is on the C-Pap + 30 breaths per minute to help him. He's not ready to breathe on his own just yet.
We are being patient remembering that Sean was not due until October 3rd. He is having to learn how to eat and breathe on his own. These are things he wouldn't have needed to learn yet if still in the womb.
This morning I spoke with the RN and she said Sean is doing better. He has calmed down and was sleeping. She said he is doing well. And what he is experiencing is common behavior for Premies.
Thank you for your continued prayers.
"fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold your with 'my righteous right hand' ".
(Isaiah 41:10)
