We hope everyone had a great Mother's Day. We spent ours at the NICU visiting Andrew, taking a quick nap when we got home, and taking the girls to Kevin's parent's house for dinner. Thanks to Kevin's brother, sister-in-law, and niece for watching the girls while we went to Dallas.
We found out on Friday that Andrew is waiting for a bed to open at Our Children's House. The coordinator is visiting with him today, and we hope something opens in the next few days. Andrew's carbon dioxide levels have come up a little, but they're still in an acceptable range. He continues to need oxygen in the 20's, which is awesome. The nurses snapped some great pictures of him on Friday and made Mother's Day cards for Tara. He's really photogenic. We also had a nice surprise on Saturday. One of Andrew's nurses from Grapevine called and asked to baby sit the girls for us. It was a great surprise and gave our moms the weekend off. We were able to go see Andrew and have an early Mother's Day date night.
The girls are doing ok, but still suffer from acid reflux. They're going back to arching their backs, crying, and sputtering their milk when we feed them. The increase of Prevacid worked for a couple of days, but now we'll be calling the Pedi again. They continue to gain weight and strength. Mattie has a re-check appointment on Tuesday. Her calcium levels were high last time, so they decreased one of her meds. We're also taking the girls to Our Children's House - Grapevine on Friday for an evaluation for therapies.
Praise
For great moms.
For first time moms.
Andrew still doing good with no setbacks.
Prayer
A bed would open up for Andrew.
The girls' acid reflux would decrease, and they would be comfortable.
