Today was horrible. Jen and I stayed the night at the Hospital last night to be close to the babies. They did ok through the night but both are needing a lot of extra support, drugs and attention. They both had ultrasounds done on their heads and the results for Charlton were normal but Savannah has a significant bleed in her brain. The Dr's rate bleeds in the brain by a scale of 0-4, 0 being no bleed and 4 being the worst, Savannah has a 3 on both sides of her brain. I don't really understand the math involved in the statistics that the Dr was using but basically he says that Savannah has a 16% chance of surviving and a high risk of future moderate to major handicaps.
Luckily for us Aunt Sue was returning from Geneva and was able to come to the Hospital and perform a baptism on the babies in the NICU. Needless to say we are shocked and devastated on this recent turn of events. I'm starting to think that this hill doesn't have a bottom to it.
