7 Weeks Old Today

For everyone who keeps up with our journey here I am sorry for the lack of postings. We are all doing very good. I have some great news to share this evening. First of all the babies are 7 weeks old today. I can't believe it has been this long, but at the same time I can't believe they are already 7 weeks old. I am just so ready for them all to be home with us.

Savannah is off the oxygen! Wow can you believe it. Baby girl you are the leader of the pack. You have been on room air for over 24 hours and still doing wonderful. We fed you your bottle today and you did great. I am so ready for you to come home and you have made that major step by not needing any oxygen. I can't even remember the last time you had a spell and that is awesome. It won't be long now!

Cheyenne is still doing very well. Sweetheart you are still rollercoastering with your breathing. They turned your oxygen down again. We turned it down a few days ago and you had a brady episode, but this time you seem to being doing ok. Hopefully you will continue so we can get you on room air like your big sister.

Brody is such a strong little boy. Baby boy we have been so worried about you. We do not want you to have the shunt put in, but if it is what we must do to get you better than that is what we are going to do. This week has been a very emotional week for me and daddy because we are so scared of you having another surgery. The deal was that when you hit 2 kilos (4lbs 8oz) they were going to schedule you for surgery. We knew that was going to happen by the end of this week. So yesterday I was just sitting their with you waiting for the news of when this surgery was going to happen. Well then the phone rang and it was Dr. Marchaund's nurse practitioner to tell me that your ultrasound looked great and we weren't going to schedule the surgery just yet. The Dr decided that we were going to do a no tap test. So they haven't tapped since Tuesday and today Dr. Marchaund came in to examine you and he said your head looked great. So we are doing another ultrasound tomorrow and if it hasn't gotten worse then we are going to hold off on putting the shunt in. We are so exited that your little body may be doing what is suppose to do. We have had a miracle with Savannah's bleed self resolving so fast, please Jesus give us one more!

As soon as we find out about the ultrasound I will let everyone know the results. Please pray for our little guy. I believe in prayer more know than I have ever in my life. Our babies are doing wonderful and thanks is to be giving to God and to all of you who have prayed for us. It means so much to us. They haven't been weighed tonight so here are their weights from last night.

Savannah - 3lbs 13ozs
Cheyenne - 3lbs 8ozs
Brody - 4lbs 8ozs

That's wonderful about room air. She is getting so close to coming home. I am sure it will be hard when one is ready to come home and the others aren't but it's one step closer to them all being safe in your home. That's great news. Brody your little man is doing great also, i do pray that his bleed does resolve on its on. I know you and Brandon hate for him to have another surgery as do come risks. We have faith!! It sounds like little Cheyenne is a trooper and very steady, she will get there on her own time and terms. Keep up the good work everyday is one day closer.

Whew! So relieved to see a post today! Happy 7 weeks, Savannah, Cheyenne, and Brody!!! Sounds like the Docs at Pres are really working with you guys . . .that's awesome. The power of prayer and love and physical contact from momma and daddy are the most powerful healers for Brody.
