It's totally up to Hunter now

What is totally up to Hunter now you ask? Well, it's his breathing! That's right, earlier today the nurses and the doctors decided that he was doing well enough to be moved from CPAP to the nasal cannula! He is doing just as fine on the nasal cannula as he was on CPAP. Also, now that he isn't on the CPAP anymore, that means his little face won't be scrunched up like a little bulldog anymore!

He is also getting another eye exam today to check to see if he is getting ROP. Hopefully that will come back fine, we'll know by later today what the results of the exam were.

I know I wrote this last time, and Bobby didn't write anything, but Bobby will get on a little later to post an update for the results of the eye exam and what not!

Bobby's Update:
Hunter made it through the entire day without having to go back to CPAP. Doctor did say, however, that it is very possible he may tire out and have to return to CPAP for a short time.

If Hunter is able to make it a few days without going back to CPAP they are going to try to start feeding him with a bottle. Babies typically are ready for a bottle at 34 weeks, Hunter just turned 33. His doctor says that sometimes babies are ready to take a bottle at 33 weeks and that Hunter may be since he has been doing so well with his pacifier.

His eye exam came out fine again this time. He had one a week ago that also came out fine, he doesn't have to see the ophthalmologist again for another two weeks now. The picture is a little dark today because they had to dilate his eyes for the exam and I didn't want to bother him with a flash or by opening up his bed to the light. I think he's smiling at me.

Also, his nurse tonight said she might put Hunter into a crib! She said that he is old enough & big enough to make the transition. She said if he doesn't get too fussy she'll do it tonight, if he does get fussy they'll probably do it tomorrow! Yay for Hunter!
