A nice break...

What a nice, relaxing weekend! We spent 2 days in Grand Haven, MI camping with family. My brother and his family flew in from CA, my sister and her family drove up from Cincinnati, my sister and her family came from St. Louis and my parents came up from Indiana. There is just something about being out in nature away from the busy life where you can just sit around a campfire and take in the smell of the pine trees, sit on the beach and watch the waves crash, watch your daughters play in the sand or eat the sand (Loren). : ) We love to walk out to the lighthouse and watch the boats come in. When the girls are better, we'll go back and spend a week there.

Before we left Friday, we found out Emma had an infection. When the tests came back with the specific infection we found out she had a yeast infection. It was in her tracheal aspirite which means it was probably in her lungs too. It was not in her urine or blood so that is good. They had to switch her to other antibiotics because the two they had started would not work for that specific infection. She seems to be holding strong. They caught it very early. She also pulled out her ventilator tube again and they had to reintibate her. Lovely! Emma Grace is growing well and is now 3 lb. 10 oz. She is getting so big!!
Miss O. (as her primary nurse calls her) is doing well. She is now 4 lb. 7 oz. She had a little bit of trouble over the weekend. They ran out of my breast milk and had to supplement with formula. I was in MI and couldn't get them more. She was pukey on Saturday and some on Sunday. We don't know if it was because of the formula or not. They are not concerned because most babies spit up some and she is not acting sick. Mike and I took in 50 bottles last night so we'll see if she is still pukey now that she is back on my breast milk. She did take 3 bottles yesterday and she took all 36 ml. of it. That is really good!! We have to get up to 8 in a 24 hour period.
Mike and I have our monitor and CPR training tonight. I'm anxious to get this ball rolling!
Well, that is all for now.
Until tomorrow...
Love,
Bethany
