The most eventful part of our day was this evening. Scarlett needed a new IV and it took a couple tries on her hand and then her foot which really upset her. They had to have her oxygen turned up as high as it would go, but then re-positioned her and she settled down. Trish and I had left the hospital for a few hours, and walked in at the tail end of the event. We turned the corner and there were 6 nurses at her bedside. As much as I wanted it to be because they were peering at how cute she was, I walked over to the group, mustered up as much courage as I could, and said, "What's up?"
With her evening being so stressful, we had to stay hands off the rest of the evening.
The best news of the day is it seems Grayson is stooling regularly. Scarlett hasn't stooled since 11/12 but seems to be digesting well so no one is concerned yet, and we hope the increased feedings will help that process. They are both at 9 mls now. 1 Teaspoon is 5mls.
Tomorrow will be a big day for them with Grayson getting a follow-up head ultrasound and Scarlett getting a follow up echocardiagram. There seems to be plenty of evidence that her PDA has become larger such as pulse readings and a loud heart murmur.

Hooray! No significant events! Prayers today for the two procedures to show improvement for Grayson ultrasound and nothing of concern in Scarlett's echocardiogram. Please, God, I know we've been asking a lot lately. But these babies are precious to so many of us. Let your love and protection surround them again today. Give Trish and Tim the strength they need to carry on their loving vigil with their babies. And, please God, good news today would be appreciated.
ReplyDeleteLove and prayers for all of you on this cold and snowy day!
Another uneventful day would be great! Whisper to those precious babies that we all love them and are praying for them. Hope the two of you are getting some sleep. Love to all.
ReplyDeleteMatthew's prayer tonight - the babies get strong!
