Today was better than yesterday. Both Savannah and Charlton are having respiratory issues but both are handling thier feedings well. Savannah gets 2 ml of breast milk every 3 hours and Charlton gets .4 ml every 3 hours continuosly through thier feeding tubes.
Charltons arterial line went bad again and they had to pull it, they'll probably put a new one in tomorrow. He also was moved a few times because he just wasn't comfortable in any position they put him in. We weren't allowed to touch Charlton because his saturation levels drop greatly when he's disturbed but we both put our hands on Savannah a couple of times. She really likes it when we lay our hands over her legs. Her oxygen saturation levels increase and she sometimes moves her hand down to touch ours. I also got to change Savannahs diaper. I've done it three times now. Ashley was very excited because she got to see her brother and sister for a little while this morning. She has only seen them twice before.
