NICU Roller Coaster

Langston remained on the vent for 1 week and a day.  It was really comforting when he finally removed, but we remained nervous because we didn't want him extubated until he was ready.  After being removed from the vent on the 30th, Langston's health remained pretty steady. He went from the vent back to his Vapotherm. He was swollen throughout his time on the vent and several weeks after.  However, we hit a pretty decent peak with he was placed in an open crib on May 4th.  Here's some pictures of my sweet boy his first night in his crib.

He did pretty well his first night. The main requirement for being in an open crib is not being on a ventilator and being able to keep a normal body temp.  My sweet boy did fantastic and has been in an open crib ever since. 

On Sunday the 6th, Langston started full feedings.  He did really well.   Progress was definitely being made.  

Up next my second baby shower for Langston..........
