New Gear

Bert worked from home today because Mom was babysitting Erin's kids and wasn't available to help me lift Rylee.  I didn't need to hurry home to give Ry a nap, so I camped out in the NICU for a couple of hours.  I helped with both girls' Cares and then snuggled with Addi for about 45 minutes.

Brenda, their doctor for today, said she wanted to try getting Addi off the vent today and onto a CPAP machine like Jordyn's.  Unfortunately Addi wasn't quite ready because she was only off for about 10 minutes and her body just kind of shut down.  She had to be intubated again and put back on her ventilator.  Her nurse tonight, Katrina, said she was surprised when she heard they wanted to do that so soon.  She thinks they should have given her more of a break because she's had it so rough.  We really like her and how well she takes care of the girls.  She told us that she wanted to sign up to be a Primary Nurse for our girls, which means that when she is working, she will most likely be put with us.

This is Jordyn with her CPAP machine on.

Bert got to hold Jordyn tonight for the first time.
