Andrew was scheduled for another ultrasound today. Last night and this morning he started having desats (problems with breathing) and his head circumference increased by 1cm. I am waiting to hear from the Dr. to see what they are going to do. When I spoke with the nurse on the phone, she said she thought they were consulting the neurosurgeon and may go ahead with the ultrasound before they drain the fluid. They will either do a spinal tap or tap right into his head to relieve the pressure. I am waiting to see what the plan is. I have to give the little guy credit, at least he held off till the neurologist was back in town!

Both Anna Kate and Matthew are now on the lowest setting for their incubator. If they do well with their temps over the next two days, they will try them in a crib on Wednesday. Anna Kate is doing better with the bottle feeding than Matthew is-he doesn't seem quite as interested in working for the food. But, they will get it with time!

Good evening. We have been praying extra for little Andrew, the Doctors, and you two. May God give you both the strength and rest you need. Take care. Love, Beth and family
