Well these past few days have been exciting ones! Yesterday afternoon they took Zachary off the ventilator again to try him on Cpap (tubes down his nose to help him breathe). This is the second time that they have tried him on this and the first time he lasted about 3 hours. Yesterday he was off the vent for 14 hours!! Breathing with the cpap is really tough on his little body because he has to do all the work. We are so proud of him for making it that long! When we went up there during the night shift, the RT was cleaning the equiptment and Zachary had nothing to help him breathe... he was breathing competely on his own for about 5 minutes!!! PRAISE GOD! He also weighed 724 grams last night (1 pound 10.5 ounces) and once he gets to 800 grams he is going to be sent to UNC to get his reservoir put in his head to help with the draining of the fluid. We appreciate each and every one of you who take your time to check on him and pray for him daily. God is still working his hands on our miracle and we are so thankful!
