Joshua is now 3 pounds...YAY! He has doubled his birthweight.
They put Joshua back on the CPAP today. He was having lots of apnea/bradycardia episodes and working too hard so they thought it was the best plan of action. They also thought that he was not "looking" like himself and did a septic workup (For infection). The did blood, urine and spinal fluid. There were no results back at the time that we left but they put him on antibiotics anyway. He seemed to be doing fine when we got there. If he doesn't do well on the CPAP they will put him back on the SNIP. As I said before, they are most concerned about getting some weight on him and the rest will follow.

Well the nurses and doctors know best, and Joshua will thrive because they take good care of him. : )
Again, just remember that each day that passes, brings him one day closer to going home.

The pictures are adorable. He sure is getting great care. We continue to keep him and all your family in our prayers. Happy Easter to all.
