for instance here are some pictures of us with Carter.

| Carter even opened his eyes for the pictures.. |
After spending the night at the hospital friday, Saturday we woke up to Carter still being on the oscillator and on Nitric oxide. Carter continued to get Lasix, and had some really good outputs (I.E. pee) after two days of not going to the bathroom. The doctors are still worried about his kidney function and are closely monitoring it. Doctors are hopeful Carter's lungs will get stronger because he hates being on the oscillator and has to be on medicine to relax him.
Easton continued to be the relaxed little "peanut" we wanted to see getting stronger and better as the day progressed on Saturday. However Sunday doctors said his E.T. tube was too small and air was leaking past it. The doctors tried to remove the tube all together and see if he was strong enough for a Cipap machine. (Cipap-a step down from the ventillator, kinda like a cannula in his nose) Lauren felt this was a bad idea because she didn't think Easton's lungs were strong enough. Doctors were hoping to try for at least two hours and test his saturation levels.Well that only lasted about 5 minutes and they realized Lauren was right it was not a good idea as he was not doing well at all. So doctors put in a larger tube to fill the space the older, smaller tube couldn't. After a few hours Easton was his happy little self adjusting well and snuggling in his little caccoon of onezies and gauze rolls.
It's amazing how they immediately recognize mom's voice after they're born. Even though they were so early Easton totally perked up once he heard Lauren's voice. That's great! What a little cutie.

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! They are so stinkin' cute! Every time I pull up your blog my twins run to the computer to see God's little works of art! They pray multiple times a day for your little boys! They are always so excited to hear that the boys are making progress! They wanted me to let you know that Easton and Carter are going to be running around like their crazy cousins in no time! Because, Heavenly Father lends a special ear to the prayers of children!!!
