Roller Coaster

Yesterday was awful, today is great. This truly has been the roller coaster ride the doctor's promised.

Keaton is still at 4 lb 5 oz but gained grams, so that's great. He also drank several full bottles today which is great since he has been slacking with that. His newborn rash still comes and goes. Was back tonight but has been gone most of this week. He didn't have any heart drops today and seems to be more alert the past day or two.

McKenna is doing bottle feeds every other feeding and doing great. She almost always finishes her entire bottle. She is still having problems with a high heart rate but didn't have any heart drops today. She is the exact same weight tonight as yesterday. No change in ounces or grams.

Kyle got home after his first business trip since babies were born. It's fun to see how well they respond to him. McKenna was fussing when we got there, and as soon as daddy stuck his finger for her to hold she clinched to it tight and just starred into his eyes. Her heart rate slowed down to normal range and the fussing stopped. For sure he has the magic touch. And Keaton drank an entire bottle for him, and even burped for Kyle.

Grandpa Dana came to visit the babies tonight too and held Keaton for the first time. Keaton slept in his arms most of the time but it was fun to see how comforted he was with Gramps.

And, the best news today was that I don't have MRSA. We are SO excited and feel very blessed. Thank you for your prayers! The babies are back on drinking breast milk tonight which means they are going to get the antibodies that formula can't provide. Hoping this will help them continue to grow and gain weight.

Thanks everyone for your commitment to praying for our family. We feel every prayer and it is so helpful to know when we are having a hard day and feel like we can't pray anymore, there is a group of people lifting up our tinys!
