The Turner Triplets

Andrew's blood cultures did not grow any thing-meaning there is probably not an infection in his blood-but he does have a urinary tract infection. So, we are hoping that his symptoms were due to that and not an intestinal problem. They are still going to do the GI study on Monday-but if everything looks good, they may not do surgery to see what is going on.

Anna Kate is now over 4lbs and both boys are over 5lbs! Yeah! Anna Kate passed her hearing screening last night. She had been given the test three times and although she did better each time-I was beginning to get worried. I nicknamed her Verizon ("Can you hear me now?") but was sure she could hear something. One of my favorite nurses-was convinced the machine wasn't reading right and she didn't want me to have to wait and wonder until next Tuesday. So, she and another nurse stayed after work last night to give her the test again and she passed! The nurses in NICU-especially the kids' primaries-Sandie and Linda-have been wonderful. They have taken an extra special interest in the kids. They are both on vacation next week and it just won't be the same! I will really miss them.

On the bright side, Brent's sister, Brenda, and her family are coming up the end of next week. We are looking forward to seeing them.
