Three weeks old

Connor's new bed: Peace and quiet at last...
Daddy's wedding ring on Logan's foot! How's that for scale?

The boys are now 3 weeks old. Connor has his new bed and is doing quite well. Logan is being a bit difficult. He is having a lot of desaturation. The Dr turned his vent down, but Logan sometimes relies on it to "take up the slack" and then he sets off all sorts of alarms. When I am there, I about have a heart attack! Also, his heart is quite enlarged due to the VSD (ventricular septal defects-3 holes). We are still hoping these holes will close on thier own, but Dr said we might be bringing a cardiologist on board. He is recieving Lasix to help pull off some of the extra congestion in his heart and lungs. They were talking about taking out his breathing tube soon, but after the last couple of days, I think he will need to grow a bit more. All in all they are positively adorable. I was able to hold Connor again this evening and rock him. He also made sure I got to hear his crying voice too. Keep up the prayers as they are doing good things!!!
