Savannah's infection (fungus) has moved into her blood stream which is never a good thing. The fungus can attach to her organs, which in turn can cause further complications. They took an ultrasound of her Kidneys while we were at the hospital and although we were not given "official" word, the technician hinted that there was no fungus present in the Kidneys. The Doctor also said that Savannah's lungs were doing better and they were thinking about extubating her, however, just the stress from the ultrasound caused them to have to bag her (supplimental airflow in addition to what the respirator could do for her). At this point I don't believe the will be taking her of the intubator anytime soon. They will be checking her heart in the next few days to see if there is any fungus present.

Charlton: I was shocked to find out that little CJ is actually doing worse than Savannah in terms of the lungs. It looks like he will be intubated for a long time. They would like to get him off the Oscillator and put him back on the Ventillator because at this time they feel it will be better for him.

In terms of feeding they are both being feed breastmilk through a tube that goes into their stomach. Charlton seems to be tolerating it more than Savannah, however, they are still trying to feed it to Savannah so that her stomach will get use to it. Her dose is much smaller than Charlton's.

Inspite of the recent events, Chuck and I are remaining strong. We strongly embrace God and know that he will look after our Children and will also continue to bring us strength.

We are planning on leaving tonight to spend the weekend in Morristown to be closer to our babies.

Thank you all for your continued support and prayers.
