Yesterday Sophia was having a tough time maintaining her oxygen levels. I left out a few other details. The rest of the story is that Sophia has some heart issues. A few days ago, they heard a heart murmur during one of her routine checkups. The pediatric cardiologist did an echocardiogram (sonogram of the heart) …
Cameron was doing really well today. Sophia, not so much. They were both sleeping when we got to the NICU today. It was time to change their diapers & feed them, so we slowly woke Cameron up first. He & Tanya share the same distaste for waking up… After Tanya worked some magic on Cameron …
Sophia’s feed tube is now in her nose. I didn’t notice. Tanya said that one day Sophia’s going to dye her hair purple & I’m not going to notice. That’ll be great. When we walked up to our kids’ playpens today, there were two nurses around Cameron. They both looked pretty, ummm, taxed. When they …

Sophia’s doing pretty well with her feedings (but still has a ways to go there). Now that Sophia made it past the oxygen hurdle, I’m guessing other “systems” will …

Their weights aren’t changing drastically each day, but they are definitely making big progress. When we got there, Sophia was completely …
We spent a big portion of our Thanksgiving day at the hospital. Why would we be anywhere else? I’m still fighting a stomach bug, so I stayed away from the NICU again today. Tanya got some serious cuddle time though and saw some great milestones. Cameron was awake for Tanya and really enjoyed their cuddle …
