Day 60,
Well when we arrived to see Ronan tonight he was wearing NOTHING! No breathing machines just himself breathing totally on his own..!!!!
They wanted to test to see how long he would last before getting too tired to cope and he lasted 4 1/2hrs which is exciting.. This is the big step towards him never having to wear CPAP ever again.. He had a bad desat when we were there but he was fine after he was suctioned a little.. He went back onto CPAP just before we left..
We gave him a bath and weighed him at 2720 grams!! We did all of this whilst he was wearing no breathing help and he did fantastic (besides pooping in the bath).. hehehe
I would say they will try the breathing on his own again in another day or two..
Total Weight Gain To Date: 1580 grams
