Ups and Downs

Sunday, June 23

Kinley and Devyn both had another good day today. Both girls' breathing continue to improve. We hope that Devyn will be removed from all of her breathing aids soon.
 
The girls both had ultrasounds of their heads taken on Friday, which is normal practice for premature babies. Devyn's came back looking great. Kinley's, however, showed that she has two small grade 1 bleeds on either side of her brain. Grade 1 is the least serious level of bleed. Another ultrasound will be taken on both girls next week. If Devyn's comes back normal again, she should not need anymore testing. On Kinley's we will be watching to make sure the bleeds have not grown. The doctor is hoping that the bleeds are more of a bruising that should go away on its own.

Mom and Dad continue to be in charge of changing diapers and checking temperatures when we are at the hospital during "touch times." It feels great to be able to interact with the girls, even if it's only for a few minutes at a time.
