March 11

All is well in twinland today. Will's doing much better on the larger vent tube. No little episodes today, thank goodness. Now we're just waiting for him to get big and strong so we can get the tube out and he can breathe on his own. And tomorrow, if all goes as planned, I'll finally get to hold him!!! It'll be a little scary since he's still on the vent and we sure as heck don't want to dislodge that tube. But he's doing well otherwise and he's almost three weeks old, so he needs some snuggle time with his mommy (well, his mommy needs it!!) In other good news, Will's up to 3 lbs. 8 oz. and they moved his feedings back up to 11 cc. As for Hays, he's still just being my sweet ol' boy. No news is good news for him. He did try to escape from his isolette today by scrunching up right by the little porthole, but his nurse foiled his attempt! Y'all keep your fingers crossed that I'll finally get to hold that little monkey Will, and pray that no one else in the family comes down with Mason's funk- diagnosed today as double pinkeye, double ear infections. He's pretty gross and cruddy, but we love him anyway (though I'm a little afraid of hugging that walking ball of infection!).
