Doing well


Nathan

The boys are both doing well. Owen is now up to 1505 grams / 3 lbs 5 oz. He looks so big now. Owen really enjoys Mommy and Daddy holding him every day. Tomorrow he may start getting every feeding via his bottle and have his OG tube removed. He will be very excited. He loves being fed by the bottle and gets upset when he is fed through his OG. Owen still has quite a little temper on him. Thankfully it has been good for him to be so feisty. His canula oxygen requirements are becoming less and less, a little at a time. Nathan is doing well. He is now up to 1570 grams or 2 lbs 12 oz. He is having a hard time maintaining his body temperature so they put him back on temperature control in his bed. Nathan is not able to wear clothes right now, but we are very glad they are able to regulate his temperature for him. He is doing very well on his oxygen needs, actually surpassing his brother. Nathan is on room air in his low-flow 1 liter canula most of the time.

On Sunday during the Super Bowl my Mom and I spent some time making very cute burp clothes for the boys. We got some cloth diapers and decided to sew some ribbon I had purchased on each one. One of my Mom's friend's daughter is going to monogram them for us. When they are finished and I have them back I will be sure to put up pictures!!

The three old family members (Preston, Logan and I) are having some fun afternoons together. Yesterday we met our friends, the Eakers, and had a great time playing at the Dawson FRC. Logan was able to play basketball, arcade driving and motorcycle games and air hocky (which I may add he is pretty good at). We all had a great time together. This afternoon he was able to go to the McWane center with his CiCi and Paw Paw Bill.

Prayer Request:
Nathan: Removal of PVL in his brain - complete restoration of hand - eyes would not continue to progress in the wrong direction - gain weight - able to not need oxygen requirements
Owen: gain weight - able to not need oxygen requirements
