Mommy made a special request to hold me without the bipap machine hooked to me.  They weren't so sure at first but she convinced them if a resp therapist watch my sats and had the mask ready to go if needed.  Mommy got to hold me for 1/2 Hr (it felt like 1/2 a minute) and my numbers only drifted down a couple of times but came right back up. We were both very happy and now we are allowed to do this a couple times a day.  Yay!

My chest x-ray is worse yet again. Now both of my lungs are partially collasped and I have fluid on my lungs.  They are giving me some Lasix which should help with that and make me pee more. So on top of the pneumonia and collapsed lungs, I have some pulmonary edema.  The doctors say this is going to be a long process and will probably be here for a while.

Who knows... may be I will be one of the first patients in the new Children's Center which is opening soon!
