Weekend Home

Well I am actually home this weekend. Can I just tell all of you how good it is to come home after two months. When I turned off the exit in Rexburg I cried. I was so excited. When I walked in my house it all looked so different. It had just been way to long. It was kind of hard leaving Aiden, Brock and Collin but they are in good hands at the hospital. I am hoping that this weekend home will get me rejuvenated.

The boys are doing pretty good. Aiden had to go back on the canule. He just needs a little bit of help and the reminder to keep breathing. Thursday night his weight was 3 lbs. 5 oz. On Friday he got to start bottle feeds. The first time he took 12 mL of his 28 mL feed amount. Then the second bottle he took 20 mL. Yeah!!!! Friday night his weight was 3 lbs. 6 1/2 oz. He is doing super. If he can just keep doing good on the bottles, it makes it that much quicker to get him home.

Brock is doing better today. The last several days he has been really puffy from water retention. Yesterday they did an xray and say that he did have fluid in his lungs, so they gave him a diaretic. It helped and today his xray was so much better. Today he also got his PIC line out. He is all through with the antibiotics and is up to 22 mL on his feeds. He is doing alot better. Thursday he weighed 3 lbs. 2 1/2 oz. and Friday he weighed 3 lbs. 2 3/4 oz.

Collin is also doing really good. Nothing major has changed for him. His feeds went up to 30 mL yesterday which is 1 oz. He also started bottle feeds. His first bottle he took 10 mL of his feed. Then his second bottle he took 10 mL also. Today they took his feeds back down to 29 mL. He is doing pretty good though. Thursday night he weighed 3 lbs. 6 1/2 oz. and Friday night he weighed pretty much the same.
