He pulled it out!!!!

At 5AM this morning, my little boy basically pulled the vent out. They decided to completely remove it and keep it off since they were going to do it any way.

He is doing so good.

They have him on antibiotics to help with his infection, and caffeine to try to help him breath deeper. They also have him on a "high flow" of room air. (Room air is defined as 21% oxygen. That is what everybody breaths.) The "high flow" is to help expand his lungs at all times to encourage them to open more.
