Almost home!

Everyday we get a little closer to bringing our babies home. They are all doing very well. Savannah will probably be the first to come home, but Cheyenne and Brody won't be far behind. We are hoping by the end of next week that we will have Savannah home.

Savannah, you are almost there. You are eating on your own almost every time now, and you are still off your oxygen. You have to have five days in a row without any spells, and eat every time on your own for 2 days straight to be able to come home. We thought you were going to start eating every time yesterday because you had ate all day on your own, but then through the night you didn't eat all your food, so they had to finish feeding you through your feeding tube. It won't be long though!

Cheyenne, your still on oxygen, but you are on a very small setting. You finally ate an entire bottle on your own and soon the doctors will let you try to eat on your own more often. You have been gaining weight very well. You actually passed your sister the other day. You are 4 lbs 13 oz, and Savannah is 4 lbs 11 oz. It wont be long until you both hit that 5 lbs mark.

Brody, you have packed it on in the last couple of weeks. You are now 6 lbs 3 oz. WOW! You are eating very well too. You are up to getting to eat on your own 3 times a day, and you usually eat the whole thing. Your oxygen setting is at the lowest it can go, so maybe you will be off the oxygen very soon. The doctors did an ultrasound again and said that everything still looks good in your little head. You will have to come home with your reservoir, but its not permanent.

We are so excited that we are getting so close to coming home with our babies. They all are so alert now and are just checking everything out. Savannah was awake for about an hour and a half yesterday while she was getting fed, and we loved to watch her reactions to us. We have also decided to have a golf tournament for the babies. We will have it at Arroyo Del Oso Golf Course here in Albuquerque. We haven't set an exact date yet, but it will probably be the end of September. It will just be a fun day and the more people we have the better. So start getting your teams (4 person) together and I will have a date set very soon. We want everyone to come!
