Hi- They boys are pretty stable today. Brock weighed in at a whopping 3 pounds, 10 oz! He is a big one!! He is stable and is going between room air and assisted air. We are still planning on trying to bottle feed him late next week or early the week after that I believe if the new doc agrees with Dr. Green's timeline. Brock is no longer on donor milk and when I can't feed them both, they mix in fortified formula. Ok with me since he will have to use that at home as well.
Christian is 3 pound, 4 oz even after taking the diuretic. Great news!! He is still on the CPAP (I am thinking another week or so if the new doc agrees with Dr. Green's thinking). He got a blood transfusion today and will have another one tomorrow. He is still doing breathing exercises and is "doing better" on his CPAP than without. His X ray showed a little "wetness" in the lung area and that in combination with his lung disease (caused by being a preemie) are what is most likely causing him some trouble. What does this mean for the long term?? He will be at an increased rate for getting sick while he is a baby. Sooooo.... anyone who wants to see this little guy when he comes home can NOT be sick, been around sick people, sick children and MUST have a flu shot. This will apply to ANYONE who wants to come in our home this fall or winter. I know that is a little rudely put, but we just can't put his little health at risk this year. So... if you are planning on coming to see or visit us this fall, get a flu shot, be prepared to sanitize at our home and stay healthy! Brandon and I will have to try and stay as healthy as possible as well.
The boys were looking very cute today. We brought in new stuffed animals, woobies, blankets and outfits for them at lunch and are going back to hold them tonight after work.
