Cheyenne's spell

The triplets are doing good! Brody has hit the 7 lbs mark and he is eating 80 cc's from a bottle. He is still on oxygen, and still once and a while gets tired and has to be fed from his feeding tube. Cheyenne gave a huge scare yesterday. Her heart rate dropped really really low as did her oxygen level. It was so bad they had to help her breath with an air bag for about 3 minutes. She is fine now and they have been able to come down on her oxygen again after turning it up while she was struggling. It just shows that they still are immature, and not quite ready for this world yet. Then this morning she has ate all of her food out of the last 4 bottles they have fed her. So her little spell didn't set her back and that is great news. Savannah is doing well still. Off her oxygen and still feeding from a bottle, but she still isn't able to eat all of her food every time.

Savannah is 5 lbs 8 oz, Cheyenne is 5 lbs 7 oz, and Brody is 7 lbs 0 oz.

We are trying not to get our hopes up, but we think that Brody might be home by the end of this week. He is really starting to eat very well. We haven't spoke to the neurosurgeon yet about what he will let Brody do, but we think that he will let him come home!

Here's a hint. Never say the HOME word in front of the babies. I swear my girls did not want to be seperated, so whenever our DR said that we were going to send so and so home, we would have an episode! We started saying helicopter for home. I am not kidding. We got to bring Isabelle home within the week of doing this.
I really hope you get to bring the babies home soon!
