Megan's weight is 1289g or 2 LB 3.4 OZ. She is up to 23 mls over 1.5 hours. She will only be on the C-Pap for 3 hours for every 9 hours on the canula. Funny story... Towards the end of her 9 hrs on the canula she started having some trouble keeping her O2 up so they decided to switch her back to C-Pap early, figured she was getting tired. After changing her over they found her O2 had come disconnected at the wall, the problem wasn't her it was equipment malfunction. I mean it's not funny she came disconnected just that the problem wasn't her. Mommy held Megan today.

Olivia's weight is 1473g or 3 LB 4 OZ. The results of her echocardiogram came back today. Her PDA that was classified as small is now small to moderate and she now shows an ASD (Atrial Septal Defect) which is an opening between the left and right sides of the heart, the atria. It allows blood to flow incorrectly. She also has BPD (chronic lung disease, like we described earlier when Megan was diagnosed with it.) All we can do at this point is monitor her condition and if problems necessitate it, action will be taken. FYI, they let me know she is now too old for medications to close the PDA or ASD. Please pray for her.

Thank you for the beautiful shower and all of the wonderful gifts !!!!
