I leave for MD after work tomorrow so there probably won't be a post. Therefore, I would like to use today's post to wish the twins A HAPPY ONE MONTH BIRTHDAY!!!

Tenley and Will both had eye exams today. They will periodically have these to ensure they don't have an eye defect which is common for preemies...results tomorrow.

Tenley - She had her kangaroo care with Mommy today and was allowed to be on the nasal oxygen during the session. It went pretty well until the end when the nasal piece kept slipping out of her nose. They put her back in her incubator on her CPAP and she rested peacefully for the remainder of their visit.

Will - They attempted to put a new central line in him today - it just prevents the little guy from being poked all the time - since he's still on TPN due to his low food dosage (still 8CCs). The attempt was unsuccessful so they will try again later. Mom didn't get to have kangaroo time with him but she did get to swaddle-hold him for roughly ten minutes and he was staring in her eyes the majority the time..this made a Mom very happy. Little Will also had to have another spinal tap done today. They just want to make sure the results from the first one weren't altered from the anti-biotics he was already on. The pre-lim results should show whether or not there is low sugar counts in the blood. Low sugar counts would indicate that he still has Meningitis and they would rather test again to be on the safe side. Good news for the day....HE HAD A POO!!! ;)
