I guess when you have two sick kids in the house it's difficult to keep the 3rd one from getting sick. Savannah started getting sick Friday. I think this is the first time that we really felt sleep deprived since the twins have been home. They have been quite unhappy and letting us all know. Hopefully this bug will be short lived. We have been giving both babies breathing treatment's per their Pulmonologist as a precaution. The good news is Ashley seems to be better, just a lingering cough.

Our poor little CJ has a cold today and is quite miserable. Ashley has also been sick this week, so we are pretty sure we know where it came from. We have him hooked up to Savannah's Pulse Ox to monitor his Oxygen level. I was sure he needed to be hospitalized, but thankfully the doctor said that he is ok for now, but we will have to keep an eye on him. So far Savannah seems ok.

The kids had a very nice visit this week with their Grandma. Savannah's infection has pretty much cleared up, although she will be on antibiotics for another week or so. Just this week Savannah has really shown alot of improvement with her strength. She is now able to sit in a Bumbo seat and her neck strength is much better. CJ seems to be doing ok with his new formula, which is much cheaper than the Nutramigen. Next week Savannah ad CJ have lots of follow up doctor appointments. Savannah has to see the neonatologist to review her Apnea. Then they both have to see their Pulmonologist and then Savannah has an eye appointment and then she will visit the hand surgeon. It will be an action packed day.

CJ and Savannah both got their RSV shot today. In addition, the doctor changed CJ's formula again. Hopefully this one will be better because it is a lot cheaper. Savannah also got a new script for her infection. The infection looks to be healing very well, but the doctor wants to be sure she is getting the correct antibiotic based on the infection she has. He just received back her swab test which is why he switched the antibiotic.

Today we celebrated Ashley's 5th Birthday. Since we were not able to have a lot of people over, I took Ashley to Chuck E. Cheese to play and then back home for cake. She had a great time, even CJ and Savannah got in on the action with the birthday hats.
Savannah's infection is healing nicely. Both CJ and Savannah go to the doctor's tomorrow for their first round of RSV shots. They will both get this shot every month up until April. Hopefully this will prevent them from getting RSV this winter.

Well the babies both recovered from having the rotavirus. However, we ended up having to bring Savannah to the ER for something completely unrelated. While getting Savannah ready for her bath last night I noticed about a 1 inch laceration underneath her armpit. The plastic lead from her Apnea monitor was pretty much embedded in her skin, which cause a major infection. Luckily she didn't have to spend much time in the hospital and was released later that night with oral antibiotics as well as antibiotic cream. I never thought we would be in the hospital for something like this. Savannah never showed any signs of discomfort, but I have to admit it looks really bad. Hopefully this will heal quickly without any further problems. Since she is basically wrapped in guaze we now have a problem with putting new leads on her to monitor her breathing. Right now we are improvising with a pulse ox machine that alarms when her oxygen level drops.
Charlton is back on the new formula. However, I am not impressed so far. He is still seems to be very uncomfortable after every feeding. Not to mention hungry about two hours later.
