Last night was a calm night. Both boys are doing well. Braylon is still having trouble pooping and they gave him prevacid, which helps with his reflux and some pear-nectar to help him poop. The reflux has been getting a little better, but he was still having trouble keeping in his stinky surprises for too long, but hopefully last night he gave the nurse a big ‘ol diaper sized pudding dessert. He hasn’t gone for over 24hrs so I’m sure when he does go it will be a big one.
Kaden has been doing well. He has been nippling every other feed and his respiratory rate has been staying down. He will be getting an increase in his protein, which will hopefully help him grow more, and he will now start stinking it up with his brother. The doctor also told us when he thinks the boys will be ready to come home. He said Braylon could be getting out in a week or two, and Kaden would be about a month or so. I would rather them just tell us a day or two before they knew exactly when they would be getting out. Braylon has been supposedly getting out for the last 3 weeks, and it kind of gets our hopes up.
Its been a long road, and I know things can only go up from here. I have two strong, healthy boys, and a beautiful strong wife, who hasn’t seen our home in over a month. She has been doing very well up here without me being around all the time, and I’m proud of her for that. So hopefully in the next month we will be out of Spokane and won’t come back for a long time.

  2. Glad things are quiet. I think they all three are great too! And you are a great daddy! The not knowing when they are getting out is hard i'm sure but just remember they are getting stronger everyday they are in the nicu! They will be ready to go in no time. THanks for the pictures I love them
