Cooper continues to eat great. I was able to be at the hospital and nurse him for three of his feedings today. Unfortunately, he had numerous de-saturations in his oxygen levels. They tend to cluster together. The doctor thinks it is being caused by a "floppy airway" - because he is only 35 weeks he is not strong enough yet to protect his airway. While he may have reflux, the Dr said that is not what is causing the de-sats and she is not concerned with it. The "floppy airway" causes him to have a decrease in is oxygen saturation sometimes depending on his position. They have told us this is something that will fix itself as he grows - they expect within the next two weeks. So we still watch and wait. Thank you for your continued prayers!
