Well we have made it though the first week and a half. It has been a roller coaster ride, as we were told to expect. We have good days and not so good days. But overall everything is going well.
Both the boys are on an antibiotic due to an infection they had at birth (that may be the reason I went into labor). They have been responding to that well.
Nicolas had a rough couple of days this week. A couple of days ago they found he has pneumonia. So he is on more antibiotic to treat that and he is responding. The nurse says his lungs are sounding better now. Nicolas also had some seizure activity one night, it was only in his left leg. They are doing a test to see if it is caused from infection or it could just be because he is so young his brain waves are not firing correctly. He will be on medication for that for quite a while. The Dr. said these are not uncommon occurrences with preemies. He is out from under the light for his jaundice.
Ethan has been eating for a couple days now. Finally all my pumping seems worth it!!! He hasn't seemed to have any other complications at the time. He's still very active as well. Below are some more pictures of both the boys.
I was able to stay at the Ronald McDonald house Thursday and Friday night. I am going back up there on Monday and will stay the week. It is a really nice place and the people have been great. At the hospital as well, all of the nurses and Dr.s have been wonderful through all of this. We appreciate all of the love and consern all of our family and freinds have shown too. It's nice to know we are not in this alone.
