Noah has been off of oxygen for a little more than 24 hours and is doing just great! :) It is so much easier to get around with just his monitor. He will be on caffeine until he is event free for eight days, he will be weaned off of it cold turkey at that point. He had about five minor apnea events today(a couple more than normal due to the change in oxygen). He did this last week when his oxygen was cut in half as well but by Monday had adjusted and only had one or two events a day the rest of the week. I expect it will be a couple of weeks before he gets off of the caffeine.
Noah won't be full term until May 15th, and yet he is 12 weeks old. It's hard to believe we are just a few days away from 3 months!!!
Everything is going well at home, he keeps us up very late every night but we are adjusting. He is 5 lbs. 5 oz. and 17 1/2 inches long. Dr. Dhar is still insistent that he not have visitors. She said he should be able to have them when he is full term, just a little under a month, until then he is on house arrest.

Such a sweet boy. We have to wait another whole month? I don't think I'll make it. :)
