Another milestone hit!

Myla had a very big day. She finally got rid of the ventilator and is now on what they call a CPAP - which is basically the oxygen prongs up her very tiny nose. They have to keep it on with a helmet type thing, which you can kind of see. (Mom's hand is in the way of the full effect.) This machine still keeps pressure going into her lungs, but she is responsible for the breathing on her own. She is doing very well with her new accessory. Myla is also eating well and they are probably going to go up on the amount that she gets every three-to-four hours. Of course, any amount up from a 1/2 teaspoon is huge. We are so proud that our girl has reached this milestone!
