Knock on wood

July 15 9:30 pm

Today was another very good day. Knock on wood....we've now got two days in a row! Parker had a good night and an even better day. He was more consistent today on his vent and desatted much less and to a much smaller degree than he has been.......I'm really hoping he may have turned a corner. He seemed so much more at peace today than he has. His rest was so much more uninterrupted. Longer periods without any fuss.....it really made me feel a whole lot better and will allow me to sleep that much better tonight as well (barring any bad news we hopefully will not get when we call in later.) Tyler continues to improve and found himself safely tucked in his mother's arms today for over an hour. Having to set almost perfectly still, Heather's arms must have been killing her, but you'd never know it from the smile pasted across her face the whole time. Yesterday, Tyler took a while to settle in. He really seemed to enjoy it, but you could tell that it was something new that he had to acclimate to it. Today however, he didn't miss a beat. He settled in "for a long winter's nap" ( I know it's the dead of summer and not Christmas, but it felt a lot like Christmas today!!!) I've never seen him look so content. It was very reassuring. Grandma Thompson's birthday was today and she celebrated with her two new grandsons. (pics below). I also posted some new pics that may help to give some new perspective on their size. Parker is now 2lbs 1 and 1/2 ounces and has had his feedings increased to 14 mls. Tyler is 2lbs 6 and 1/2 ounces and is chowing down on 18 mls / 3 hours. There is a nice cool breeze coming in the den window right now......and for now......things are looking pretty darn good. More later.
