Kennedy: She is doing well and I was able to hold her swaddled today for the first time. I love kangaroo time, but this was special too because I was able to see her pretty face the whole time. She is remaining stable on her minimal settings and her feeds are going well also.
Drake: We did not hear back from the ortho about his knee today so hopefully tomorrow morning. The infectious disease doctor that comes by daily (at 5am) said that his knee does not appear to have any kind of infection. His joint does not appear to be affected either, and he still has full range of motion. Drake and I had an earlier kangaroo date today so mommy will be getting in bed a little earlier tonight. The doctor also plans on doing an MRI tomorrow to get a better look at his knee.

Awe!! Look at that sweet belly. They just get cuter everyday! Way to go mommy, plump those babies up!
ReplyDeleteI will continue toto pray forDrake's knee, i am sure all will report back perfectly.
Enjoy the time with your cutie pies!
So thankful for another calm day. What a great time for these kinds of days to come since Brian had to go back to work, and how thankful I am that he was able to be off work for those first five weeks. Praying for good findings concerning little Drake's knee. It is so good to be seeing pictures of his cute,sweet self again. I'm glad you had that special time of swaddling Kennedy so you could just enjoy looking at her precious face. I bet you were beaming! Love seeing that little belly on her! Hope you sleep well tonight. Tomorrow is "hump day" and Brian will be back soon.

ReplyDeleteIt is so wonderful that your beautiful babies are doing well even with the many challenges! I know that you and Brian must be looking forward to the very special day when you can bring Drake and Kennedy home. Thank you for sharing your journey through this blog, so that we can know how to pray for your precious little ones. I pray that Drake's knee concern will resolve and that the rest of the week will be uneventful with more swaddling and kangaroo time.

You guys are doing so well, we are so proud of you! Love that you are getting to let your mommy hold you and see your beautiful face, Kennedy! Drake, you are getting to have sweet kangaroo time with mommy but soon she will be holding you too! I hope your knee gets better real quick so you will not have that pain. Keep making me smile so you can come home soon. Much love, Jen B

ReplyDeleteAnnie, the week is half over now, and soon your husband will be back with you three, and you all can celebrate another great week in the NICU, and being that much closer to bringing your precious children home :)
Such beautiful babies! So glad to see that they are continuing to improve. Our family has been (& will continue to be) praying for them.
