On the way to Savannah's eye appointment we had to stop by Morristown Memorial for them to evaluate some frequent activity on her Apnea monitor. Thankfully they all turned out to be false alarms. Then we received even more good news from the Eye Dr. who informed us that her mild ROP is starting to regress. Her next eye appt. won't be for a few more months.

CJ is also doing very well.

We are still getting use to having two little ones at home. Great Aunt Sue has been with us since the babies came home from the hospital, but unfortunately she has to leave tomorrow. We have been very lucky to have her with us, but now Chuck and I will have to get into some type of routine. The nights wouldn't be so bad if Savannah's monitor stopped going off every few minutes. Thankfully it is not going off because she stops breathing, but for her leads coming off when she wiggles in the crib. Chuck is in the process of sticking the leads on himself with medical tape to see if it will hurt her when the tape needs to come off. ( this is our solution for getting the leads to stick) It is actually a really funny visual with the leads on Chuck with a lot of tape. We are realllly hoping this works. Both the babies are doing very well and seemed to have adjusted to their new environment. They are both on the same 3 hour schedule for feedings.

Savannah has a eye appt. on Tuesday and we are hoping that the ROP has not progressed.

Since everyone is wondering how we did last night with both babies being home I thought I would put up a quick update. Thankfully Aunt Sue was here to help out with the feedings and for the most part we are all rested.

Savannah's monitor went off about 7 times last night, most were attributed to the lead placement. There were a few that we are not sure about, but didn't seem to be Apnea. I think the monitor probably woke up our neighbors because it is sooo loud. I guess CJ is use to all the beeping/loud noises at the NICU because it didn't seem to bother him.
