Day 3

Today was a little bit tougher day. We found out that both girls have a artery between the heart and the lungs that was open, where is should be closed. This is actually quite normal for this premature of babies. This artery closes when they are still in the uterus, but because they didn't have enough time inside, it stayed open. The doctors are going to try a medication, giving them a dose every twelve hours for three times. This can effect their kidneys, so they are going to keep a closer eye on those as well.

Shawnah is getting around better and better all the time, though the medication is doing most of it. She can feel the it when it starts wearing off. She got to spend more time with the girls today, which was very exciting.
