Making Progress

We are happy to report that Andrew has had a negative culture for the past three days. So, it looks like the infection is gone. They are going to continue to treat with antibiotics for another seven days. Both boys are progressing with their feedings and are getting three CPAP breaks each day. The doctor said she hasn't heard a murmur on any of the kids over the last few days. So, that is wonderful news! Anna Kate has started compression feeding and is doing well. We have had clothes on her a few times and they are getting her out of her incubator a little bit each day. Andrew's head size has been stable and it still feels soft. They will re-scan his head on Wednesday. All three kids will have an eye exam on Tuesday.

Continue to pray for:
Matthew-to tolerate his feedings and CPAP breaks well and that his PDA will remain closed
Andrew-that the bleeding will reabsorb, and that he will tolerate his feedings and CPAP breaks
Anna Kate-that her compression feeds will go well, that she will gain weight.

So precious!! What cute pictures of the kids. I love the one of Andrew "relaxing". So exciting to see them out of the incubator. Next time you post, let us know how you and Brent are doing as well. Praying for you all often, Love, Brenda
