No more CPAP for Megan! She has been doing great on her O2 saturation, so she is only on the nasal cannula. Basically now, she doesn't get any extra ventilator help, just some air to help keep her lungs open.

She got her first eye exam today. While I was holding her, the nurse gave her eye drops (which she didn't like at all ). She then slept with me for about an hour before the eye doctor came. They are looking for ROP or Retinopathy of Prematurity. He said her eyes look good. Her right eye looked clear and the left had only minimum stage 1 ROP which does not require treatment. He will follow up in 2 weeks, but so far so good! Mild cases such as stage 1 or stage 2 typically clear up without treatment.

I did also convince Bob to let me put up a pic of him with Megan...
