Quick update here....

Thanks mom and dad!!! They drove here today and picked up our girls to take to St. Louis to visit my sister for a few days. Much needed break and good timing so we can spend some more time with Emma and Olivia. Thanks Ang for letting our girls come and have cousin time. : )

Emma's lung opened up late this morning (good news). However, the next x-ray showed that her lungs are filled with fluid (bad news). They doubled her dosage of Lasix and another diuretic to see if they can take some fluid off. Emma's lungs are at a very high pressure right now. They are at 38. The highest they go is 45 which is dangerous for the fact that it could pop a lung and then we are looking at putting in a chest tube. Not what we want. So they are doing another x-ray tonight and we will just pray that her fluid will go down. She is still losing weight. This is partly from the diuretic but we don't want her to lose too much. She needs the extra "good" weight so that she can handle dealing with her lungs better. She is a feisty girl and I just pray that this will get her through.

Olivia is doing well. On 2 liters oxygen through the nasal cannula. They might attempt to put her down to 1 liter tomorrow. She is bottle feeding once a day right now. Once she gets the hang of that, she will go to two a day. She is at 3 lb. 9 1/4 oz.

I'm going to watch a movie with my hubby now. Oh the quiet....I better enjoy it for the short time it lasts. : )

Much love and thanks for the encouragement!!!
