Another Sunday

We have made it through another Sunday. That means I can check another week off of the calendar. After church today I went in to see the boys. I spent most of the afternoon and then Max and Christine brought the girls out to see the boys. They are doing good today.

Aiden is about the same. Today they stopped giving him his caffeine. He is breathing really good on his own and is not needing the caffeine any more. They think he might have a little reflux, so they have put his feeds on the pump over 45 minutes instead of 30 minutes. Here are his weights for last week.
Monday - 2 lbs. 9 oz.
Wednesday - 2 lbs. 15 oz.
Thursday - 3 lbs.
Friday - 3 lbs. 1/2 oz.
Saturday - 3 lbs. 1 1/2 oz.

Brock is doing pretty good today. This morning they put a PIC line back in Brock because he still has 4 more days of his antibiotics. His IV's aren't staying in good, so instead of putting a new one in each day, they put the PIC line back in. He also had to go back under the lights today, because he was looking a little yellow. The best part was that they started his feeds again today. He has to start low, at 5 mL and he will gradually work up. So he is slowly getting back on track.
Monday - 2 lbs. 3 oz.
Wednesday - 2 lbs. 7 oz.
Thursday - 2 lbs. 6 oz.
Friday - 2 lbs. 8 oz.
Saturday - 2 lbs. 10 oz.

Collin is also doing good today. Today they turned the humidity off in his bed. He is able to maintain his body temperature by himself. Other than that he has nothing new happening.
Monday - 2 lbs. 7 oz.
Wednesday - 2 lbs. 11 1/2 oz.
Thursday - 2 lbs. 11 oz.
Friday - 2 lbs. 12 oz.
Saturday - 2 lbs. 14 oz.
As Kayla would say, "Look at my cutie little Aiden."
