I had a very nice visit with the babies today. I was able to hold Charlton for about 45 minutes. He seemed ok with it, but did cry a little bit a first. I on the other hand really enjoyed my time with him.

They have changed his feedings today because he is not gaining the weight that he needs to. The doctor is keeping him on milk, but will now be alternating his feedings with formula.

Savannah: She is doing a little better with the NIV C.P.A.P., but is still having significant desaturations. However, they are not as frequent and she has not required any bagging today. They also changed her feedings to be 7 mls. continuously, rather than over the 3 hour period. They are hoping this will help with the Apnea.

She is now off the antibiotics that she has been on for the last 6 weeks.

Her head ultrasound did not show any water on the brain, which is a very good thing.

Overall I am amazed by their progress to date and how they are filling out.

Tomorrow we will be stopping by the hospital in the morning for a quick visit and then heading off to a Yankees game, complimentary from Great Aunt Sue. We are looking forward to getting out and having some fun. Ashley is especially excited about the game because she is always watching the Yankees with Grandma Krause on TV. This will be her first live game.

Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day Weekend.
