CJ is scheduled to be discharged next Friday (August 8). We are thrilled to finally be able to bring him home, but at the same time we are very nervous.

Savannah has made an amazing turn with her breathing and is doing very well. She is still on the nasal canula, however, they are slowly decreasing her settings. We are praying that her surgery goes as well as CJ's. Hopefully she will have a speedy recovery so she can join CJ at home.

She weighed in tonight at 6lbs. 13.4 ounces.

CJ is recovering nicely from Surgery. We just got word today that they are thinking about discharging him next week. We are hoping we can push it to Friday since we would like to both be at the hospital for Savannah's surgery on Thursday.

Savannah is also doing very well and is up to 2 bottles a day. Chuck was actually brave enough to feed her a bottle today and it went very well.

Both babies had a great day. CJ had a bowel movement last night and they started feeding him again today. He is only getting 10 ml's per feed, he used to get 60 ml's so he's a bit cranky. Savannah is doing well with one bottle feedings per day and they are going to try her on two bottles a day tomorrow.

CJ and Savannah both had a very good day.

CJ is recovering nicely from surgery. They are still letting his intestines heal before trying to feed him As a result CJ is becoming a little irritable from not being able to eat. We are hoping that they will start feeding him tomorrow.

Savannah is doing well on her 2 liter Nasal Canula with a few desaturations, but much better than she had in the past. They are going to slowly wean her off.

Everything else is status quo.

Grandma Krause and I had a nice visit today with the babies. Grandma held Savannah while I held CJ. The doctors have been so impressed by Savannah's breathing over the last few days they decided to take her off the Nasal Canula. Although she was doing quite well her Primary nurse thought it was a little too aggressive and didn't want Savannah to crash as a result. They decided to put her back on the Nasal Canula, this time they turned her settings down so they could slowly wean her off.

Savannah weighs 6 lbs. 7.6 ounces

CJ is doing very well with his breathing and is not on any supplemental support. The surgeon is pleased so far on his recovery and we are all waiting for him to move his bowels so he can start eating again. He will be finished with his antibiotics tomorrow and he is not on any pain medicine and does not appear to be uncomfortable. He can even manage to smile through all of this.

CJ weighs 5 lbs. 11.4 ounces
