I love Zantac...Zantac is my friend..

Connor loves this stuff too! He is doing so well it is amazing. I swear it is like having different baby now. Connor slept for most of the night last night and managed to keep his O2 at 1/32 all night with no issues. Very exciting to say the least.

We had a Doctor appointment today (last day of meds for his lungs) and Connor is now 8 pounds 8.7 ounces. Another wonderful weight gain. Connor also showed the doc just how well he can puke all over Mommy. Apparently being on his back for the exam was bothing Connor so when I picked him up he puked. The doc said "yup, its reflux!" Its a good thing I learned to pack a shirt for myself in the diaper bag. Connor will start a flow vent treatment tomorrow for his lungs which is really easy, we just put a small mask on his face and have two puffs of treatment go into his nose and mouth as he breaths. The other awesome, most exciting news is that We can start to wean Connor's oxygen some more during the day now. We have to put him on the O2 at night but we can turn him off during the day for periods of time and see how he does!!! We are praying that this O2 is on the way out the door completly.

We have no doctor appointments for Connor until the 31st of August now. We will have a nurse coming to visit every other week I think starting next week and she will weigh Connor when she comes out so we will still have some weights for you all and of course pictures.

Love to you all,
Ali

Connor, you need to use your powers of digested food projection for good, not evil!

For instance, when the dog is barking, feed him. When somebody is rude to mommy or daddy, coat them. When Aunt Coochie gets too close, you know what to do. =P

Fight the good fight, Pimp Nephew Master C!
