Day 41

Today was a very special day for Chuck and I. We finally got to hold our son for the first time and loved every minute of it. I didn't think I would get my chance to hold little Charlton because his daddy wouldn't share. The nurse had to intervene so I could have my turn.

Unfortunately we didn't have the same opportunity with Savannah because she is still not well enough to be held.

Savannah only has two more days left of her antibiotics and had her central intravenous line removed today. They also increased her feedings to 18 mls every three hours.
She is scheduled to have another head ultrasound on Thursday.

Charlton's feedings are still at 6 mls continuously. He is still just shy of hitting his 2lb milestone. However, he does get weighed tonight. They are also decreasing his respirations and his oxygen saturation was at room air (21%) for most of the time we were there.
