Two steps forward, a few back..











So much happens within a couple days..

Miles murmur has gotten very small, and they barely hear it now. YAY! He started eating again and he gained weight. He's 3lbs 14oz now. GO MILES! : ) They also put him in a incubater, but do not use the incubater part. They use it for him to focus on his growth in a quiet enviorment. They say he graduated, and got his own house! HA! (pics above) Now, for the step back. As of two days ago, he was "A,B,C,D Stating" (this is on machines). Which means that he was breathing, but breathing irregular, like breathing normal and then all this sudden start breathing diffrently. Like he got really relaxed. They then have to put him on oxygen real quick. FREAKED me out the first time it happened, I as holding him, machines dinging galore.. I just called them, and they did a CBC (Complete blood count) and found out he does have an infection. Pre mature babies have a very small immune system, and of course, no way of letting you know that theyre sick, so this was his way of letting them know he is sick. This means, no more milk for Mr Miles. They began antibiotic and he wont get to eat for 7 days (he will get nutrients through the IV).
As for Brooklyn, all of this happened to her as well (the infection in my original post). Its gone! They will begin feeds on her Monday again.. Thank goodness! Im ready for my baby girl to start gaining weight! Lets hope she graduates and get her own house soon. She is doing well.. A beautiful lil girl!

They were saying we would get to start bottle feeding this coming week. Hopefully we will for Brooks still.

Wow.. These are some amazing, beautiful babies.. They're so strong, they have already been through so much. It still breaks my heart to leave them every night, and I leave with a tear in my eye each time, but I know theyre where they need to be. I couldnt have asked for better nurses to care for them.

Thank you everyone for all the thought's and prayers. Please dont stop!
