The weekly update

The latest -

Payton is doing well. We've moved off the high flow nasal canula to a normal one. The high flow was irritating her nose and causing a bloody nose a little bit. And she doesn't need the high flow anymore. She's gone up on her feedings twice this week. She has her temperature probe off and is keeping herself warm inside her incubator (she's not quite ready to come out of there yet). She even got to wear clothes for the first time yesterday. She is loving time that we spend together in one of the chairs. She even has a new bow in her hair from one of her favorite nurses, Lynsie.

Parker has managed to stay off the vent. He is having a little bit of a rough time getting going and staying that way on his own though so this morning he started his second round of steriods to try to help him. He is still on the high flow nasal canula. He has gone up on his food this week too. They are going to start working with him to loose the temperature probe (one less wire). He is very alert now that he is feeling better. He even does really well when we do his bath at night.

These updates are subject at any time to change. But to night if you need us, we'll each be at one hospital snuggling with them. :)
