1 Week old!

We are a week old today!! Momma is so excited! Both Jackson & Addison were switched to Nasal Canula today! Happy 1 week birthday babies. We are keeping our fingers crossed that they get to continue to stay on the canula vs going back to the cpap. They both have gotten a lot of mucus from being on the cpap and of course they can't really control their swallowing right now so they have to have it sucked out. Addison had 2 small episodes while we were there. Luckily she was able to self correct. So I'm just hoping she gets stronger through the night and doesn't need to go back on cpap.

Today Jackson weighed 1220 grams and Addison was up to 1200 grams! Grow babies grow.

They did have their 1 week cranial ultrasounds last night. Jacksons came back normal. Addison's came back "suspicious" for a grade 2 hemmorage (brain bleed). They said a lot of preemie's have it and it heals. I am praying really hard right now that Addison's does too. The Dr showed us the ultrasounds and he sounded really positive and that he really didn't see much of anything but can see why they said "suspicious". So they will continue the weekly cranial measurements and then repeat the ultrasound when she is a month old. I hope that ultrasound comes back normal.  I'm so scared but I know there is nothing I can do. This is all in God's hands right now.
