The babies seem to be feeling a little bit better today.

They are still eating about every 3 hours. In CJ's case it seems like he is constantly hungry. I have a feeling we will be adding rice to his bottle soon because nothing seems to satisfy him. Savannah has seemed to take a step backwards on her feeding, but I think it has to do with her not feeling well. Savannah has really come a long way with her head control and is still getting stronger every day. She can now sit in the bumbo sit with out her head falling forward. She has also started to smile a little bit. We are so proud of the progress that they have made thus far.

Ashley seems to be adjusting better and really loves her brother and sister.

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.
