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.

What a day.....My birthday...I spent the morning/afternoon with the babies and then celebrated later with Chuck and Ashley.

I must say there is never a dull moment at the NICU. Unfortunately today will be a day that I will never forget. While I was holding little Charlton "Kangaroo Therapy" he stopped breathing and turned blue. Thank god the Respiratory Therapist was not too far away and was able to revive him fairly quickly. I hope I never have to experience that again.

The good news is he did not have any further episodes today and is finally starting to gain some weight. He is now at 2 lbs 6.6 ounces.

Savannah: She also had her share of desaturations while I was holding her, but thankfully they did not get to the point where she needed to be revived. She also gained some weight and is now at 2 lbs. 14.6 ounces.

They both had eye exams today and Savannah is having another Head Ultrasound tomorrow.

Charlton: The doctors are very concerned about his lack of weight gain. They took him off the milk today and he is now just getting special formula with the MT oil (fats). They are hoping this will do the trick. We are anxiously awaiting to see if he gained any weight. They are waiting to weigh him until the early AM hours so we will have to wait until then.

He is still doing well with the Nasal Canula.

Savannah: Her weight gain has been fairly steady. She is also doing a bit better with the C.P.A.P and having less major desaturation episodes.

They will be getting another eye exam in the next few days. Hopefully it will be good news.

We had another nice visit with the babies. Chuck held little Charlton and I held Savannah.

Charlton: He is still doing well on his Nasal Canula, but is still having a problem with his weight. He lost a few more grams last night which is not good since he is at his maximum liquid intake. The doctors are going to evaluate him again in a few more days to see what the next course of action will be.

Savannah: She is doing better this week on her C.P.A.P, but is still having a lot of desaturations. Her weight gain is very good and is now at 2 lbs. 12 1/2 ounce
