Ms. Payton decided on Sunday that she wasn't going to poop any more. After a little more checking they figured out why - she had an infection. Her system was more busy fighting that than moving things along. They identified it as a type of staph infection. So the milk feedings have stopped for now since she isn't able to move it through her system for now.
Mr. Parker is moving right along with his drain. They are starting to remove it a little at a time and hoping it will be completely removed in a few more days. There really isn't anything coming out of it any more. Once that happens, then we will get to hold him for the first time. Yesterday he was back up to 2 pounds (his original birth weight).
They are both pretty stable. Their numbers keep improving. They also improve when they know we're there. They both have their favorite nurses and calm down when they are there. The nurses love them. Payton's favorite day nurse, Carla, always makes sure she has her because she loves her. Parker's night nurse the past couple days, Kelsey, made him a little sign and hung it in his room with his picture. We are changing some diapers, helping with oral care, taking temperatures and helping weigh them.
Looks like the prayers are working, please keep them coming.
