No more jet!!

Cooper was taken off the jet ventilator last night! His CO2 levels were high again and he was breathing over it, so the doctors decided to put him back on the regular ventilator. He is doing quite well!! His CO2 levels have come down and he is allowed to breathe with this ventilator. We are still watching his O2 saturation go up and down, but it is not as severe as it was before the surgery. Apparently this is something all preemies do... He also got his first eye exam today. They don't test him for what he can or can't see, but they look at the blood vessels in his eyes to see how they are growing. His eyes are good so far! He has to be tested quite a bit due to him being on oxygen.

I feel so incredibly blessed!! Shortly after we got here this morning, he woke up and we got to see his eyes for a while! He had to be heavily sedated while he was on the jet, so him being awake was a HUGE blessing today!! He looked at me and I just stared at him! I am in awe of this blessing. He is so absolutely beautiful!! (Kevin would not like to hear me say beautiful, he prefers handsome!) He has made some amazing accomplishments in his brief month and 1 week on Earth. We are so incredibly thankful to God for our little miracle!!

The nurse just came in with his latest blood gas results and they are GREAT!! Praise God!!!
