Vann has really had a great week. He continues to do well on the CPAP...he is at 5 and they would like him to get to 4 before the try the canula (which is the next step). They are supplementing my breastmilk with some formula to add calories to his feedings, so we can get the little guy to put on some more weight. He is at 2 lb. 9 oz. as of yesterday. The big news from yesterday was that they removed his PICC line, which was an IV in his leg. That is how he received all of his medications etc. He will now be receiving them orally. Jeff and I were so excited because that means one less wire hooked up to our little guy.

Thanks again for the prayers, they are working for us every single day and we can't tell you enough how much they mean to us and little Vann!
