If you haven't been on in a while, scroll down and read from the bottom up.Gracie is about the same. She is not allowing the nurses to bring the vent settings down. The good news is she does not have an infection with the new tests that were ran. The puzzling part is we don't know why she can't get off the vent. She looks good and is resting well so I hope she can get stronger and get off the vent soon.Brody is doing well. He looks great. They did his head ultrasound again. One side increased a little and the other has gone down a little. They will do more spinal taps to get the extra fluid off. We can hold him everyday however; he needed a little break from things today so I didn't hold him. (Ricky is still at work so he was not able to see them today, its midnight)Madi is eating, sleeping and using the bathroom. I was able to hold her tonight and she did great (we had our favorite nurse that knows what she is doing) She is very prong dependent but that is normal for babies her age because the lungs are under developed.Since our call to the department manager Brody and Gracie are able to share a nurse again and they are moving beds to get Gracie in the bed she needs.Tonight during part two of my visit a baby died. He or she was right behind Madi. It was terrible. I hate it for the family. It is a reality check for sure. Ricky and I have so much to be thankful for and this experience will make sure we never forget just how blessed we are.Anyway, please keep our babies in your thoughts and prayers. They need the Miracle Grow :)
