It's been approximately three weeks since I last saw the twins and I can honestly say that they look soooo good...definitely worth the 300+ mile drive (not that seeing my sis and bro-in-law aren't reason enough) :)
Tenley - Weighing in at 2lbs 7ozs she definitely lives up to her princess nickname. If she's uncomfortable or not happy with being messed with, she will definitely let you know. There's no wonder the girl needs added supplements and fortifiers in her food - she constantly moves around - quickly burning off all her 20CCs of food. I got to witness a 45 minute kangaroo hold with her Mommy today. They put her on the nasal oxygen for it and she did really well until she started getting fussy, messed with the wires, and pulled the nasal tubes out of her nose. So, back in the incubator she went.
Will - Weighing in at 2lbs 12ozs this little guy is just looking for some peace and quiet. Throughout the day, he was either bothered with getting yet another EEG test (results tomorrow) or getting a pic line (which also includes an x-ray afterward) in his arm to prevent him from getting poked so many times in one day. We were hoping he would have tomorrow off to just relax, however the Dr came in and said that not only would he be getting another spinal tap tomorrow (to make sure the anti-biotics are actually helping to heal the Meningitis), but he will also be having a CT Scan. Due to the low glucose levels and the white/red blood cells in his last spinal tap, they want to rule out the possibility that he may have a brain abscess which would not appear on the other catscans he has been getting. Both those test results will probably be given on Monday. His breathing levels are still really good, so to prepare him for coming off the ventilator and on the CPAP on Monday, they will start him on a round of steroids this weekend to help strengthen his lungs.
