Nolan basically went straight from cpap to the hi flow canula on wednesday.  He was pretty irritated with the cpap so the docs moved him on up to the next stage and he has been doing really well with it.  he’s gaining weight, slowly but surely, and is currently at 1597 grams, which is a solid 3 1/2#, his o2 supplement hangs out at around 23% (room air is 21% o2) and they reduced the pressure this morning and he still seems to be doing well.  he is due for another eye exam in 30 minutes which translates to whenever the optometrist arrives in hosital time.  he has only had a few doses of morphine in the last 2 days and his current sedative of choice is sugar water and tinkly music, both great alternatives to m.  kara and i are encouraged but wary and are envisioning a healthy little bean for christmas morning.  hope everyone has happy holidays.
