Ari Back On CPAP 2.25.13

The doctors tried to wean Ari down from High Flow Nasal Cannula on Thursday 2.21.13 of last week to a regular Nasal Cannula and he did not handle it well. He was doing really well on the Nasal Cannula so I guess the doctors thought they would try. He has now went back to the CPAP because he tired out and his lungs needed extra support. I am told that these little micro preemies like Ari sometimes need a push to get things going on their own and it is normal for them to go back and forth sometimes but hearing the news made me want to implode. The doctors reassured me that they won't know if he can handle the next step unless they try but it is hard seeing him take a step back but the good news is that he was on the cannula for a week so I am hoping he will be back to that in no time.

I have attached the view that our little Ari has from his bedside. It is pretty incredible. The one good thing about being far from home is the sunshine here. It makes healing physically and mentally a LOT easier.
