Just a real quick update because I need some zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzs...

Just a real quick update because I need some zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzs. Yesterday the NICU called (just a recap) and told us they had to put Emma on the vent. She did well yesterday with her oxygen around the 40s. Today - not so good. Her oxygen went up to the high 70's and her blood gases were not good. These were giving off an alarm that something might be wrong. They ran a bunch of tests this morning to see if Emma has an infection. Anything foreign going into her body (vent., i.v. etc.) is a risk for infection. So we will not know what it is exactly until tomorrow afternoon. They gave her 2 blood transfusions and that seemed to help. Also they started her on 2 antibiotics until they can see exactly what is wrong. Once they know that can give her an antiobiotic that is specific for the infection. So please keep praying that she will build up her strength, get rid of her infection and be able to breathe on her own.

Olivia is doing pretty well. She is still having episodes of BC and Aof P. Please pray that these will go away soon. She is also not the best pooper. So please pray that she will start stooling on her own. Good news - Mike got to Kangaroo her tonight. She loved every minute of it and I'm sure he loved it more. : ) He was in heaven.

Well, I'm going to get to bed. Hopefully these pictures will attach nicely. More pictures will come tomorrow.
