3 weeks old!!!

Yesterday Kaden had a busy and rough day. They placed another tube in his throat that goes all the way down to his intestines. This tube allows for a continuous feeding; while the other tube is left in to let air out. He had to have this done frequently, because the first time they tried he must have worked them back out, or they had too much slobber on them and worked out themselves. The doctor said we have not made any progress with him over the last couple of weeks and hopes that this is the answer. He also had an ultrasound of his heart to make sure one of the ducts has closed, and will hopefully find out the results today. On the brighter side Kaden has increased his calories by 2; which means he is at 24 again. The amount of his feedings have gone down, but he has gained some weight still and is now at 3lbs 3oz. Hopefully with all the changes he has been going through and with all of us roughing him up, it will allow him to go back and forth between his cannula and c-pap.
Braylon is still on the high flow cannula and looks as if he will be on it for a little while. Taking him off wouldn’t really be making progress, so right now it is serving to help him with his bradys’. He also gained some weight the other day and now weighs 3lbs 15oz. Once he gets to the 4lb club he will be able to get a crib. He has to get to 4lbs and has to maintain some other things, but one step at a time and he will get there. I think it will be better so he doesn’t have to sit and smell his mustard sauce all the time. He will share it with everyone else in the room. He will learn about sharing a little more now. More pics will be on their way, we just have to put them on the computer.
