Grant and Ethan are doing great, and mom finally got released from the hospital today, yay! My blood pressure is still higher than normal, but hopefully I'll get back on track soon. Today my boys are 6 days old.
They are pretty much just monitoring Grant's feedings now and trying to get his weight up. He is such a little spitfire. The nurses can't ever keep him in his little nest! I don't think it will be long and he'll be home trying to climb out of his crib! As I type he is just fussing away. They just finished feeding him (he has a tube down his nose now, instead of his throat, so that he can nurse, too) and the nurse put him on his belly so he's fussing at her.
Ethan has made many improvements, too! He no longer has a breathing tube. He is using a nasal cannula to help with his breathing, though. He did have to be given more platelets during the night. Hopefully his body will start building his own soon. He is no longer on minimum stimulation and is no longer sedated!! It is so sweet to see him moving around some now. We even got to hear him cry today... it was such a little sound you had to listen to hear it, but I know it will soon be much louder! Anyway, things are looking good. I will get some pictures posted soon (gotta find the camera first)!
