Not much news

No real news to report today. Hazel was moved back to Nursery A since a space opened up and they want to monitor her very closely due to her feeding issues. She is still having issues. The doctor held her feeds today for a couple hours due to a huge residual she had (The nurse checks every couple hours how much milk is left in Hazel's stomach before feeding her more. She is "allowed" to have 5 mL and still get fed. This afternoon she had 12). Luckily she didn't throw up at all! She doesn't seem like herself today and that's hard to watch.

Jude's CO2 level is still borderline acceptable, but the doctor's not too concerned at this point since he seems to be doing pretty well overall. The doctor mentioned to us that he might try him on the nasal cannula tomorrow. I am about 90% sure he's not ready for it, but who am I to say? He can always go right back to the SIPAP if he's not getting enough support with the cannula. We'll see what happens tomorrow!

They both had eye exams again today, but there's no news to report regarding that. The eye doctor says everything looks normal, which is great for now! We're just not sure if it's still too early to detect ROP (retinopathy of prematurity) which is what they are looking for or if "normal" means their eyes should be fine.

Today is one of those days where I'm not sure how much more of this I can take. We're so grateful to have so many people supporting us and praying for us, so thank you to each one of you!
