Chuck had a nice visit with the babies today and was able to hold both of them.
CJ weighed in tonight at 2 lbs. 11 ounces (finally he is starting to gain some weight)
Savannah didn't gain any weight today. However, she is doing much better with her saturations and has been at 21-22% oxygen, which is very good. She has some desaturations, but is able to bring herself out of them without having to be stimulated. They will probably try her again on the Nasal Canula by the end of the week.

Both CJ and Savannah are doing well.
CJ is now 2 lbs. 10.2 ounces. It looks like he is finally gaining some weight. He has also surpassed his sister in length. He is 16 1/2 inches long.
Savannah is 3 lbs .03 ounces. She is 15 1/4 inches long. They also started her on some steroids to help her lungs, which seems to be helping since she is not having as many desaturations. CJ has been on this medicine for about 2 weeks already and it has helped him tremendously. Ashley has been taking these steroids since she has been 1 years old for her Asthma so we are very familiar with it.
Chuck is with the babies today and I am home with Ashley because she is sick. (Just a cold)

I just returned from seeing the babies and it amazes me how much they change every day. (They are sooo cute)
Charlton: I am starting to think he doesn't like to be held by mommy because he had two major not breathing episodes while I was holding him.
Savannah: She also had an episode of not breathing while I was holding her, but not as bad as CJ's.
Both babies continue to have a problem with weight gain. Even though they are starting to gain some weight the doctors are concerned. I heard tonight for the first time that they may have to do their intestine correction surgery sooner then later due to their weight issue. I was shocked to her this and don't feel very comfortable with this surgery since they are still so small. They are going to see how they do over the next few days and also consult with the surgeon.

Both babies were very well behaved today. Everything is pretty much status quo. Savannah was also put on formula today for half her feedings with the other half still being milk. They are hoping this will help her with weight gain. She also had her head ultrasound done and the bleed is starting to resolve itself and there is no signs of water on the brain. Very good news.
