Charlton: His chest x-ray this morning still did not look that great, however, the doctor still wants to try to extubate him today. The doctor feels that the problems he is having may be caused by the intubation tube in his chest. At this time they still have not extubated him, but we think they will later tonight or possible tomorrow morning. We are really hoping/praying that the 3rd time will be the charm. Once he is extubated he will be put on C.P.A.P again.

They have increased his feedings to 5 ml every hour. He now weighs 1 lb. 12 oz. Only four more to go until he reaches his 2 lb. milestone.

They also gave him a binky/pacifier today, which he really seemed to enjoy. (see new pics.)

Savannah: She continues to amaze us by how well she is doing. We learned some new information today on her status which showed us how strong she really is. A while back I mentioned that she had an infection just after her birth. It turned out that the infection was life threatening and that the doctors really did not expect her to survive it. In addition, the infection could have led to Meningitis. They informed us that they did a spinal tap on her today for Meningitis and this came back negative.

She is not gaining as much as Charlton, but they have increased her feedings today to be 5 ml every hour as well.

She weighs 1 lb. 11 oz
