Week Seven -Day Six - Sunday May 1 Lillian has prayed for this date - "May First" for months. Victoria should come home today. Week Seven -Day Seven - Monday May 2 Unfortunately Victoria did not come home "May First" as had been expected. She seems to have a little reflux that is worrying the doctors. Probably not a big deal. We expect her to come home in a few days. Pictures tomorrow. Week Eight Week Eight - Day One - Tuesday May 3 Victoria may get to come home tomorrow. Keep Praying!!! Will try to get some new pictures posted May 10 - Update This would be Wyndham and Victoria's 37th week in the womb. Which means that there adjusted age is still (minus two - four weeks). Considering that they are doing very well. Wyndham weighs 6 pounds 1 ounce and is 18 inches long. It looks like he has a hernia and will have to have it operated on sometime next week. This does require an overnight stay. But it's not like we haven't been there before. Please keep him and us in your prayers as this will require putting him to sleep. Victoria weighs 4 pounds 8.5 ounces and is 16 inches long. She continues to be on a monitor for apnea. The alarm has gone off only a few times and each time she has self corrected. It looks like she will be on it for a few more weeks. It still is more precautionary than anything. Although it sure does give the parents a peace of mind. She will have an "ear tag " removed in the doctors office on Wednesday. note: this procedure was successful - she slept through it. The Others Lillian continues to excel at big sisterhood. Lia sleeps when she can and is feeding the babies all the time. At least eight feedings a day - you do the math. Russell sleeps when he can and feeds and tries to get some work done. Also celebrating May 10 as the twelfth year as a "friend of Bill." May 17 Wyndham will go for hernia operation on Friday this will be an overnight stay. Operation was successful. He came home Saturday at 1:00 p.m. Victoria continues on the monitor. There have been a few episodes but we think that even those may be faulty use of the monitor. Not much sleep for mom and dad. Those late night feeds sure are fun. |
