Day 33 of Life - July 21st

Go, little one, go! Sha was just taken off the conventional ventilator and is now on the Aladdin, which provides a steady stream of air into his lungs. This allows him to basically breathe on his own, but prevents his lungs from collapsing, as they are always slightly open. Dr. C described it as the same feeling you would get if you hung your head out of the car window while you're driving down the highway. (Note: Please don't do this at home...especially if you're the one driving!!!) The is a great move for the little guy and we're so proud of him.

They have also just removed the long line in his foot...so it's a gold star day. Keep it up, Turkey!
