Let's that state of illinos
If deana refuses, we will have to wait until tommorrow, and Bryn will have the test done.
I am very frustrated, and angered by this waste. Esp because I have to pay for this test!

Sunday..We are One week Old!
Mom got a good nap today and some good sleep last night.
The doctor updated us (more concerned with mom's attempts to daily see her kids) on Bryn. Bryn looks to possibly come home mid-week. PRAY that this will occur. They took the feeding tube out and are transitioning her out of her isolete. Her 7 days of antibiotics should be complete tommorrow.

Bryn saturday update
Please pray for Deana and rest. She was able to get only a little rest last night trying to console Brent's every coo and cry.

The imrovements
Bryn is nearly off the oxygen and her food intake is up. (25 ml) She has a noticable disagreement with wet diapers according to the nurse.
The nursery was much more like a nursery this morning. Nothing like five screaming upset boys (well, I'll let you guess the reason.)
Full names
Brent Richard & Bryn Eleanor
The middle names reflect the twins in the family on both sides of our family tree.
Brent is doing well. We just finished feeding him. We are just waiting for the doctors to finish up in the nursery. (they are a little more animated today. I think we've been here too much. )

Paging Dr. Anderson!
Thos little gowns on all of the boys. Brent is out of the isolete and is stable. (so far today) Bryn is being fed more.
This is Parkers 4th Birthday
We arrived at the hospital about a half hour before feeding time. Brent is nearly off his isolete as he is holding his temp. They dropped the temp while Deana fed him. If he holds okay by 2, they will keep him outside in a regular cart. They will also increase his food. (Brent is Mr. Pokey when mom or dad feeds him.)
Bryn is going under the lights to help control the jaundice. Her level rose last night. (makes sense as you need to poo to get rid of it, and they held her off food for a day or two) They have lowered the oxygen and are increasing her food. The antibiotics will be continued.
We are expecting Bryn to be in at least 5 or more days.
Please pray for their health, and for all those who have leant a hand watching the boys, stopped by the hospital, brought meals, or otherwise are supporting us. May God bless you all.

Todays update
Bryn is coming along as well. The breathing rate is slowly coming down to normal. The xrays still show fuzziness. Breathing is still a concern. She is increasing food by tube today.
Deana is getting discharged today. This is hard leaving them both. It is hard for Deana and I leaving the twins.
I took some more good pictures that I will post later. I really spent some time holding Bryn today. She is cute.

More Pictures as promised!
Brent
I got measurements today too. Bryn is 18 inches, brent @ 17.5. (i may have told some that he was 15.5. I don't think they stretched him out on a rack.)
I fed Brent a couple of ounces this morning. After I got to the hospital, I visited wth Deana and then spent some time with the kids. They let deana hold both after feeding brent. I teared up holding bryn for a quick moment, and picture that i'll post later. They are so small. We just need patience. They have so many milestones to reach, but are in great hands. The neonatologist's watchful eye is reasuring, and Dr Ruby stated she is the best. A very blessed lady with wonderful God given talents!

Update
Deana is at St. James Hospital in Chicago Heights, IL.
Took a little while, but I didn't realize that the original posts were timestamped as if we were in Pacific Time.
