Today was a very busy day for both CJ and Savannah.

Savannah was extubated from the vent around 8:30 am and is doing very well with her breathing. She is back on the Nasal Canula with very low settings. She also took 3 bottles, however, each bottle only had 15 mls. They have to start feeding slowly after surgery and will gradually increase over the next few days.

She also had her exam which shows she has mild ROP. Basically, she may need to wear glasses at some point.

CJ also had his eye exam and passed with flying colors. No ROP present. Both will get there eyes checked again in 6 mths. as a follow up.

The doctor even mentioned to Chuck that Savannah could possible be home in 10 days or so, as long as everything continues to go well.

Thank God :)
Today is a big day for Savannah. She is currently being extubated from the vent. Hopefully she will do better this time. She is also going to have a visit from her brother CJ, who is having an eye exam across the street from the hospital later today.

CJ now weighs 6 lbs 15 ounces
Savannah now weighs 6 lbs 14 ounces
