2 weeks old

I don't have a new picture to post of the twins but I wanted to give a little update on them since they just hit their two week mark. Emily now weighs in at 2.1 pounds and Wyatt weighs 2.6 pounds. She has gone over her birth weight and he has not yet reached his initial weight. She is back on the ventilator which is pushed down in her throat and chest to aid her in breathing. She has failed two time in coming off of that machine. She takes about 8 cc of milk every three hours and her vessel attached to her heart is still opening and closing. The doctor is hopeful that it will close on its own, and if not surgery is upon her. Wyatt is doing well off the ventilator but is not tolerating his feedings and is all the way down to only 2 cc every 3 hours. His vessel has closed but still has the capability of re-opening. They are still in the same room together and are stable at this point. Both have undergone blood transfusions in their first two weeks of life. I am continuing to recover from my c-section and Andrew and I are dealing with the separation of our kids a little better now. We know they are getting the best care they could get there. Mitchell keeps us smiling and hopeful. Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers.

Love,
Janessa
