March 2, 2010

Well, today was yet another momentous day...for two reasons. First, Mommy walked into the room and went to where Tenley normally would be - she wasn't there. She asked the nurse where Tenley was and there she was, right next to her brother! They are finally next to each other in the room...yay!!! Then, as Mommy was kangaroo holding Tenley, the nurse walks up with Will...and BAM!!!...she's now holding both her babies at the same time for the first time ever. AWESOME!! This lasted over 30 minutes. Funny thing is, Will gets all nestled in and falls fast asleep. Tenley, on the other hand, decides to take this as an opportunity to pay her brother back for being born so early... SMACK!... she hits him repeatedly. Will just lays there and takes it like a man. There are pictures which apparently capture these moments.

Tenley - Now next to her brother, I think Miss Tenley gets a bit jealous. For example, the Doctor and Daddy were both over with Will. I guess she didn't like not getting any of the attention so she decided to flat-line to get some. She doesn't normally do this, so we suspect this is a sign of jealousy issues just beginning to surface ;)

Will - After a long day of being beat-up by his sister, Will got some of his test results back. The EEG pre-lim results show no sign of seizure activity. His Phenobar levels were a bit low but they didn't raise them yet due to the negative pre-lim results. They also decided not to do another spinal tap...it's a risky procedure all in itself, and since the last one showed signs of improvement (and he's been on antibiotics for over two weeks now) they opted out of doing another one. We are hoping that by the end of the week, he will be off all IV's and can stop being poked.
