No more CPAP







Monday, July 6th was a big day. They moved Finn from the CPAP to a nasal canula. The canula still pushes air into his nose to help him breathe but it's a weaker air flow since they don't think he needs as much help now. The best part of it is it's less cumbersome than the CPAP and doesn't squish his head. However, he still loves to grab it and try to pull the prongs out of his nose. I spent most of the holding session the other day putting it back in once he yanked it out. He's definitely a feisty boy. We love being able to see his head and face better and he can now wear all the cute hats that friends have knitted for him.
Finn is now over 31 weeks old.
