I arrived to visit him on day 3 to find he was doing so well they decided to take him off CPAP at 2am. His oxygen saturation levels were looking good though he was working a little hard at breathing so they thought he may end up back on high flow which is a modified version of CPAP to give him a rest. At 4am UV lights were started as he was a little jaundiced. At 5.20pm I got to cuddle him for the first time!! I smelt his head and he had the same sweet newborn smell I remembered from Jai and Taj. During his cares after our cuddle they noticed his left arm with the IV line in was swollen meaning there was a blockage. They decided to put in a long line to an artery to save him having to have canula's done repeatedly and this was done at 8pm. Throughout all of this his oxygen saturation levels stayed good.
