We just arrived home today from being at the hospital since Thursday.

It is difficult being near your babies and not being allowed to comfort them when they are in need. Thankfully we are able to put our hands on Savannah, however we are not allowed to talk to them loudly or stroke their skin because this will only cause them stress and for their saturation levels to drop. With little Charlton we are only allowed to look at him through the isolette (incubator) since he is in such respiratory distress and just our touch can cause dramatic changes for the worse.

As noted on Friday Charlton's left lung had particially collapsed and today we found out that he left lung is doing better, but now his right lung has particially collapsed.

Both babies are now taking breast milk and they are slowing increasing their dosage. Since babies typically lose weight when they are born, both are still under their birth wieght at this point. However, we are hoping that will change soon.

Thank you for your continued support and prayers.
