Grandma, Ashley and I went to visit the babies today. Charlton was fine and he took a bottle while Grandma held him. Savannah on the other hand totally went blue and vomited all over the place during her feeding with me needing tons of suctioning and stimulation. I never seen her get that bad before and I was shocked and shaken. Once she was intervened with she bounced back quickly and all was well. Charlton's surgery is tomorrow at 10 am it should last 3 hours. Savannah's surgery will be August 7th.
Jen and I will be spending the day at the hospital and we will update when we can. I will be taking my laptop with me so it should be early afternoon.

Savannah had some major Apnea episodes after we left last night until early this morning. I think the doctor mentioned that 7 of them were severe. They are not sure what has caused the onset of episodes, but think it may have to do with the bottle feedings. They having been giving her a bottle the last few days, but gave her a second one last night at midnight. Needless to say, they did not give her any bottles today. They will be watching her closely to see if she needs to be put back on C.P.A.P.

CJ is still doing very well and is still on for surgery Thursday. We are very nervous about the upcoming surgery due to all the risks involved with it. We are most concerned about him going back on the ventilator and also the high risk of infection.

Everything else is status quo.

We just left the hospital an hour and a half ago, they both were doing great. I held and fed Charlton a bottle and Jen held Savannah for about an hour. Charlton eats and burps very well with no reflux at all! Praise God! The Dr said he wished he could have already had his surgery because he would be home sooner. Dr Shen also said that Savannah could be home in a month but she will probably be on a apnea monitor.

Savannah is now 6 lbs. 1.2 ounces as of last night. She had a few Apnea/Brady episodes today so they are keeping a closer eye on her. Hopefully she will be able to continue with the Nasal Canula. She also took a full bottle tonight.

CJ is now 5 lbs 6.2 ounces as of last night.

Everything else is status quo.

MORE GREAT NEWS...The MRI results for Savannah showed that her brain looked normal. She does have a little fluid, but nothing they are concerned with. They will just need to keep an eye on it going forward.

Savannah is still doing well on the Nasal Canula with less and less Apnea/Desaturations. Now that she is on the Nasal Canula the nurse decided to try her with a bottle feeding. She really took to it and instead of the nurse giving her 10 mls as planned she gave her 22 mls. Not bad for her first feeding. The nurse will continue to try her on bottle feedings every day as long as she is still on canula.

We are still waiting on the neurologist to read the MRI. Hopefully we will get the results tomorrow.

CJ is scheduled to have his surgery on Thursday. Please pray for a speedy recovery for our little CJ. The recovery time is about 10 days.
