This week has been another week of forward progress. Both boys are continuing to grow. Chase is continuing to increase his feeds and coming down some more on his oscillator settings. Conner has been Conner, he has finally managed to pull every single medical device off/out of him. Friday night Conner successfully removed the adhesive around his ventilator tube and removed the whole tube from his body. The nurses were unaware of Conner's activities until he managed to get it fully out and panicked. Saturday morning they moved Conner to a c-pap. It basically just shoves oxygen into his nose to encourage him to breath and he did great with it. He is back on the conventional ventilator now, but they will continue to extend his c pap time until he manages to hold his own continuously.
Chase is scheduled for surgery again this week, a vein in heart commonly referred to as a PDA has gotten bigger and is requiring a clamp. The doctors will go in between his ribs and insert the clip around the vein. When we find out the exact date I will update ya'll. Conner is getting an echo tomorrow to check his heart for the same thing, but last echo he got showed it was closed so fingers crossed.
