Hunter is still continuing on his course to development. He is on CPAP to help him breathe and with his lungs. Hopefully, we can look forward to nasal cannula soon. But, that is just the anxious mom talking. The mom ready for him to be home.

He is tolerating his feeds, but lost 65 grams. They have him on diuretic (I know I didn't spell that right). This helps release the fluid from his lungs, but can also cause him to lose water weight.

His heart rate has dropped a couple times, but he has recovered. I hate it when that happens. I hold my breath the entire time. They know what they are doing here and right now, his heart rate is back up to 161 (normal for babies).
