Another update on Kaitlyn and Grayson

Kaitlyn had to go back on the ventilator yesterday. She kept dropping her heart rate and having alot of apnea spells. They had to take off her ostomy bag because it was pulling on her incision and caused her incision to open up. The incision site may be infected but she is already on antibiotics for it. She also had to have her 3rd blood transfusion.

Grayson went back on CPAP, which blows a constant stream of oxygen into his lungs. He has been having alot of heart rate drops and apnea spells also. His lab tests were off so they had to do a lumbar puncture to see if he might have an infection. The prelimenary results showed no infection but we have to wait 24-48 hours to see if something grows in the culture. He also had to have his 3rd blood transufusion.

On a good note, Grayson is up to 2 pounds and is taking 7.5 cc every 3 hours of breast milk.Kaitlyn has gained 2 ounces this week and weighs 1 pound 7 ounces
