Lately...

It has been hard to blog every day but so much changes from day to day. This last Sunday the doctors decided to try the nasal cannula on baby a. He did well on it. However, the next day they did a blood gas and of course the CO2 levels were too high. So, they put baby a back on the CPAP. Tuesday, the doctors wanted to try the nasal cannula again because they need to get to a point so they can start trying to give him a bottle. He needs to learn that before he leaves the hospital. They put the cannula on him while I was there and he looked so cute without the CPAP. So far he has been doing well on the nasal cannula and his blood gas has been fine. We will cross our fingers it remains that way. He hates the CPAP because it rubs on his nose and he doesn't do well with it. I went in yesterday and I was able to kangaroo hold each of them. No it wasn't at the same time but that is okay. They are both getting bigger and it is nice to just hold them. We might be able to transfer to Fair Oaks at some point soon. We are very excited about that but we are sad to leave the doctors and nurses who have taken such great care of the boys. Fair Oaks is smaller and they can both stay in the same room until they leave. The parking is free and you can valet park your car for free as well. I love that feature. The biggest point of all is that Fair Oaks is closer. We like that idea. The boys still have a while to go in their hospital stay so something closer will be great. Baby B is learning to eat with a bottle. He will eat 5 cc's and he does well with that. When he has more than that he kind of forgets to breathe while he is eating. So, obviously he will be in the hospital for a while so he can learn that. I will post some pictures when I can. I am pretty busy. I spend a lot of time in the NICU with the boys and then I am so tired by night time that we just sit here and crash. Our place is pretty messy as well so don't come by anytime soon. I might not let you in. :)
