Our precious boys

Today we spent about 7 hours visiting the boys at their hospitals. Logan is spending the night with my parents, so he did not have to spend 7 hours at the hospitals with us. He is starting to get really tired of going to the hospital, but that is quite understandable. Nathan is doing well on his feedings. He is now up to 4ml every hour and is no longer on his TPN iv fluid. He is getting some maintenance fluids to supplement his milk, but that is all. With Nathan progressing so well on his feeds, we are hoping he will be able to join Owen at Brookwood sometime late this week. Please continue to pray for his breathing spells. Today I watched Nathan turn blueish and the nurse and nurse practitioner had to spend about five minutes puffing air into his lungs to get him to start breathing well. It is normal for a preemie to forget to breath and have these spells, but it still would be nice for him to start growing out of them. Once he had recovered he just kept looking at me and smiling. He is very expressive and cute.Owen is doing well today. He got his second bottle today. He really seemed to enjoy it. Yesterday he did better at sucking and swallowing. Today he was just interested in gulping, so his nurse, Tanna, had to stop a few times to let him breath. Preston and I love watching Owen eat from the bottle.
