Tenley - a bit of some backwards progress for her today, but it is all par for the course of premie-hood. She is now on NO2 which helps in aiding her breathing. Due to the breathing issues, they decided to not increase her food intake, but she is still on the 1CC and is doing well on that amount.

Will-I-Am - busy day for this little guy yet again. He is doing a great job with his food intake...eating most of what is being fed to him. They actually tried to take him off the ventilator (assisted breathing machine) today however right when they went to take it out he stopped breathing. So, they are going to try again tomorrow. He will be coming off the pain med which will not only help him breathe better on his own but will also get clearer EEG results (next week sometime). He is going to stay on the Phenobar becuase of the high level brain bleed putting him at risk for seizures. He weighed in at just under 2 lbs today. Daddy got to hold him breifly while the nurse was changing his sheets and weighing him. When Bill went to pick Will up (no diaper since he was going to be weighed) Will must have been so excited that he pooped right then and there...Oops! Daddy also got some good pictures of Will on his belly...since he's off the oscillator machine its much easier for him to get into different positions. I'll post those pics as soon as I get them.
