2nd attempt with the nasal cannula

Matt and Sonnet got to the NICU last night to find that two changes had been made with Jack-- that he had been put on a nasal cannula instead of the CPAP mask, and that he had been given a pacifier (or, paci, or binky, in nurse/baby talk terms). The nasal cannula is a breathing apparatus that consists of 2 small prongs going into the nose to deliver heated humidified air, to make it easier for him to breath. It's much more comfortable for Jack than the cpap, and he seems to be a lot more agreeable with the change. He's also quite adorable with the pacifier, too!!

Sonnet got to hold him today, for k-care, for the first time with the nasal cannula. It's a lot easier to hold Jack with the cannula, since there's no huge tubes coming from his nose or mouth.

Jack's feedings have been upped again, this time to 18 ccs of food every 3 hours. It looks like he's taking it well. :)
