After the second round of Endocine, the PDA's on both girls is still open. The doctors decided that surgery to close them will have less risks than doing another round of medicine. We find out tomorrow when the surgeries are going to be. The surgery is a routine thing for babies this size. Here is a link to a video of the surgery, it is a little icky to watch, but it is encouraging that it is not that invasive...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOj6K_BoIAc
Both girls got a headscan done to check to make sure there was no bleeding of the brain or any vessels that have not completely grown. We got the results back on that, and all looks well. A huge relief of good news to all the bad we've been getting.
Both girls have, what they call, spells most of the days. These spells are when they drop their oxygen and heart rates too low and they have to be brought back up with machines or sometimes bagging them to make them breathe. It is not fun to be in the room when this happens, but this is quite normal for infants of this size.
Kandis had a really hard day today, having many spells and not happy in any position. Kenedi had a good day with this, and even allowed us to take the pictures above. That is TJ's hand and his wedding ring. Absolutely amazing how small they are.
