We went in at 11:00 to find out the latest and see what time in the afternoon Addison's surgery was going to be.  They had done an ultrasound on her had and an echo on her heart. The head ultrasound showed that everything is terrific.  The cardiologist came up to the NICU to talk about the echo results.  One side of the PDA duct still has a large gap but it tapers down to a smaller area.  The smaller area is where they would put the clip in but he was wavering on whether that opening was small enough that it wouldn't cause problems later in life or whether they should just do the surgery and make sure it gets closed completely.  There were lots of people involved and they finally decided that surgery would still be the best option.  The neonatal practitioner said Addison's CVC level was a little high and she could have a possible infection.  They decided to postpone the surgery and start an antibiotic to ensure she is completely healthy before doing surgery.

Holly went in and visited tonight and said that both girls are doing great.  Addison is 1 lb 8 oz and Jordyn is 1 lb 14 oz.  That is 1 oz. more than her birth weight.  They both were kind of out of it and are getting plenty of rest.

There is a chance the surgery could be tomorrow but it might just depend now on the surgeon's schedule.  They will do some more tests in the morning and we'll see if Addison is ready to go.
