May 16,

Today seems to be a little better we are going to see the babies tonight however I talked to the Doctor this morning for the health update

Baby A Is still doing well and not having as much apneia spells this is very common in premies what happens is they forget to breath the nurse will chart it if they have to get in and stimulate them to remind them. What they want to see is the baby correcting this themselves and she is getting better. They are increasing their feedings of milk and still on room air.

Baby B She still has an infection they do not know exactly where this is rooting from all they know is her white blood cells are up which is the sign of infection. They are still not making any decisions on the heart problem they just want to watch her and look at her labs in the morning. Her blood pressure is still unstable and is getting dopamean for it.

Baby C She had an Echo. Of heart which came back good her valve is closed :) (I really needed that) . She has also been having a very good diapers so they are going to start feeding her a very small amount of breast milk and see how her stomach will hold up. She is still on 20% oxygen.

I thought the babies looked great... I can't believe the difference a week has made. They all looked very sweet and peaceful. I hope you know you have all of our prayers and love.
I love that you are doing this for us. It has to be a very stressful time for your family.
