2 Weeks Old!
Today is the boys' two week birthday! I feel like it has been months, but no, it's only been two weeks. I think for the first time today I realized how tired I am. I'm wondering how I am going to make it for the next few months! I think I have experienced every emotion possible in the last two weeks. This blog has really helped and I am also writing things down in a journal. When the boys are older and being typical boys I think I will pull it out and show them what they put me through.
No word on the cranial scans yet. I know they were done last night around 1:00 am. I was hoping to hear something today but no such luck. I have no idea if that means that nothing has changed (which would be good) or if they just didn't get to them yet. I've come to fear the meetings with the doctors so I'm going with no new is good news for now. I still can't breathe easy until I hear either way though.
Today was a pretty uneventful one for the boys. They were both sleeping pretty comfortably when Andrew and I left them. Cooper has now taken to holding on to his tubes like Carson does. They were both on 26% oxygen which is great. We breathe 21% so they are almost there. Carson goes back and forth from 21-29% but this is the first time Cooper has been down that low so we're proud of him. His sweet nurse gave him a little bath last night. Poor guy hasn't been stable enough to wash yet so she felt like he deserved it. He was pretty stinky!
Carson's PDA (hole in the heart) has closed! We got the word from the Cardiologist today so that was some good news. Cooper's had already closed on it's own. Thank you everyone for praying and thinking of us. Keep it up, all of your love and support is working miracles!

HAPPY 2 WEEK BIRTHDAY!!!!!!
Lots of Love and good thoughts
Aunt Linda,Uncle Stan, Jon and Lindsey :)
My heart & prayers go out to you during this difficult time. Not a day goes by where I don't send a prayer your way: for the boys & both of you. Uncle Mike FINALLY sent me the blog info so I could be in touch. Hang in there! And count your blessings, though it may not seem like it, you will get to know your boys even more intimately than you ever thought possible; because every moment you spend with them & hold them will count even more. My first one, Debi, ended up gravely sick 4 days after she was born, & though it is nothing like what you are going through, I do understand the trips home empty-handed, and living at the hospital, & PRAYING, PRAYING, PRAYING. Again, my thoughts & prayers are with you & the boys.
