Wed 6/27 afternoon (my 1st diaper)
I (Brian) got to change my first ever diaper today with Kennedy! At first I was afraid I would be the "Bull in the China Closet" like I am with everything else. It was a very humbling experience for me. I want to pick them up so bad and just hug and kiss them, it is so difficult. I know if I continue to be strong for them that is the best thing I can do.
We did get the results back from the echo cardiogram, and the doctor said the PDA valve in the heart is much smaller, so they will not have to start another round of indocin at this time. We will just give it a few days and see if they continue to close on their own.
Kennedy is beginning to get mommas milk again at 1 cc every 6 hours. Unfortunately Drake will have to wait; the doctor said he has high acidosis which means the ph in his blood is more acidic than it should be. This could be caused by several things, one of which could be infection. They sent some blood off for cultures and we will have to wait until tomorrow to know if there is infection or not. They did start him off on antibiotics just to be safe.
Thanks to all for the continued support and prayers,

We are praying often! The babies are precious. Please let me know if there's anything I can do here in Tyler.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Brian! I'm sure the first diaper change would be intimidating for any new Dad, but I can't imagine changing such a tiny diaper!!!
ReplyDeleteSomething you will remember the rest of your life!! We are all praying for those precious babies as well as you parents and all the family. May God hold you all in His loving arms!
ReplyDeleteYour right Anne, that memory will never fade!
ReplyDeleteMom and Dad... make sure you ask for a few unused diapers to keep for yourselves.... grandparents love to have one, too!!! I still pull out my son's tiny little Pamper and stare in awe. It's not every day you get to truly watch one of (and in your case - TWO of) God's greatest miracles happen. I know its hard not to be able to pick up your precious ones and hug and kiss them, but it makes it even more joyous the day you can finally cuddle with them. From small beginnings come great things!!!

ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea! We are pulling a few TINY little diapers out now to keep. Mommy and I are patiently waiting for that day to come when we can finally hold our two little miricles!
