Well, this was officially the two steps forward and one step back day today. Brock has his cannula back in since he needed more air and Christian got his turned back up. Brock had some low stats so his is back on with a minimal amount of air and Christian got his turned back up to 50% air. He might have an infection which caused this, we just don't know yet. Christian looks ok, and is sucking on his pacifier ok but just needed more help.
We knew to expect backwards steps but it is still tough when it happens. They both just need more time to grow. Christian is on 28cc's of 22 calorie food so that should help him beef up a bit! They are also putting him on iron to try to increase his blood levels... if they can't get these up naturally, they will need to do another transfusion at some point.
Keep these little guys in your prayers :)
