Hi everyone! Welcome to our blog! This will be much easier for everyone to check for the latest news and pictures. I will get all the pictures of the babies loaded in the next week or so.
Baby news:Last night Ricky got to hold Gracie for the first time. It was really great! She did wonderful as did he :) Gracie is still breathing fast and is requiring 50-60% oxygen. They are bringing that down as she allows. They have went up on her feeds to 1.6 ml per hour. She is now 1 lbs 11 oz! For those who do not know Gracie's brain bleed is gone!Brody is up on his vent settings as well as oxygen. He had some fluid on his lungs so they are giving him medication that will make him pee the fluid out. They are doing another blood transfusion again today to help with his ozygen levels. They had to redo his pic line (main IV) they were able to get that after two tries. Now that he has a good pic line they will be able to give him good nutrition. For those who do not know, Brody's brain bleed on both sides are resolving however, he does still have fluid on his brain. They will be doing spinal taps every 3-4 days to drain this fluid. The first will be done this afternoon. The head ultrasound will be repeated on Monday to see where we stand. Brody is now 2 lbs 3 oz!Madilynn is doing well. They think she has reflux caused by her muscles still being weak. They are going to spread out her feeds over 1 hour instead of 30 minutes. Her transfusions went well and they have gone up on her feeds. She is now 2 lbs 3 oz!
We are so BL3SSED to have our babies and have them doing so well. God is so amazing we see that everyday.
Please continue to pray for our babies. Prayer is the Miracle Grow for our babies :)
Krista & Ricky
