What a day.....My birthday...I spent the morning/afternoon with the babies and then celebrated later with Chuck and Ashley.

I must say there is never a dull moment at the NICU. Unfortunately today will be a day that I will never forget. While I was holding little Charlton "Kangaroo Therapy" he stopped breathing and turned blue. Thank god the Respiratory Therapist was not too far away and was able to revive him fairly quickly. I hope I never have to experience that again.

The good news is he did not have any further episodes today and is finally starting to gain some weight. He is now at 2 lbs 6.6 ounces.

Savannah: She also had her share of desaturations while I was holding her, but thankfully they did not get to the point where she needed to be revived. She also gained some weight and is now at 2 lbs. 14.6 ounces.

They both had eye exams today and Savannah is having another Head Ultrasound tomorrow.
