Charlton: It has been 4 days now that Charlton has been on his C.P.A.P. He has been working very hard to stay on C.P.A.P and is definitely getting a little weaker as a result. The doctors are really trying to keep him on C.P.A.P so that they do not have to put him back on the vent.

The more equipment he is on the more danger for infection.

He also continues to have periods of Apnea. Both Savannah and Charlton get caffeine on a daily basis for their Apnea.

Caffeine Intravenously, what a great invention.

He is doing well on his feedings
(5 mls continuosly), but is still not gaining much weight because he burns so many calories in order to breathe.

Savannah: She is also working hard to stay on C.P.A.P and continues to have periods of Apnea, but they seem to be getting a little better. She is doing very well on her feedings and has been bumped up to 9 mls every three hours.

She is also scheduled to Cardiac Echo this week. They are checking to see if the infection she developed a while back has attached to the heart.
As you can imagine we are anxious to find out the results of this test and will keep you posted once we know.
