Off the Ventilator

Ari is off the ventilator and breathing on her own! On Saturday they took her off and put her on Cpap, it puffs air in her nose, like a nasal cannula. She's been doing really well. Her heart rate is lower than it has ever been, she always had a high rate on the ventilator. She also being fed 6cc of milk and doing well...she was being fed 1cc on Friday. So she is making progress.

She weighs 2lbs 7oz...she is gaining weight too :)

And we held her this weekend for the first time...it was amazing. She was so peaceful. I wanted to hold all night and not let her go.

too many times we all get caught up with work, kids, family, house, bills, and life in general; that we forget to express what's in our hearts; that being said, I want to truly thank beyond words my wife {Kari}, for keeping everyone informed of our adventure and blessings. Te amo

Gracia Mi Amor...I appreciate your words and all you've been doing during this time; working, classes, keeping up with house stuff and the kids. I love you too!
