I am currently at the hospital with the babies and just spent the last hour hold Savannah. She did extremely well with me holding her. I told her that she has to be really good in order for them to let me hold her and so far she is behaving.

She is 2lbs. 10 ounces

Charlton: The doctors just made their rounds and told me that they want to remove the C.P.A.P and upgrade him to Nasal Canula. This is a hugh step for Charlton because he will not be getting any assistance with breathing just some oxygen. We are amazed at his progress and hope he does well with the Nasal Canula.

He is still not gaining much weight so they are going to increase his MCT oil to 8x a day. Hopefully this will help him to put on some weight.

I finally got to hold Savannah today and it was wonderful. We weren't sure how she was going to do with her saturations, but during the hour that I held her she was perfect. What a great feeling to finally hold both babies. Unfortunately Chuck was not able to hold Savannah because the nurse didn't want to stress her out too much. However, he did get to hold Charlton for a bit. Charlton's saturations dropped so Chuck had to put him back in the Isolette sooner that he would have liked.

Charlton: He now was 2 lbs. 1 1/2 ounces. He was starting to gain, but then we found out he did lose 20 grams last night. He definitely has Chuck's metabolism.

Savannah: She has more of her mommy's metabolism and has no problems gaining weight. She now weighs 2 lbs. 8 ounces. Before we know it she will be hitting her 3 lb. milestone.

Chuck and I visited with the babies this morning before heading out to the Yankees game with Ashley. The babies seemed to have a good day and so did we....the Yankees won.

Charlton: He is now at 2 lbs. 1 ounce and tolerating his new feeding schedule.

Savannah: She is now 2 lbs. 7 ounces. The doctors decided to move her back to C.P.A.P today without the NIV. So far she seems to be tolerating the change.

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.
