As the boys grow and develop they have started to truly show their natural male instincts. Chase will literally hold his breath, make the monitors go off and as soon as the female nurse comes he starts breathing again. Conner will hold off on pooping for a day just until their about to give him a suppository and as soon as the diapers off he explodes everywhere. Conner had to get a new incubator because his old one needed to be hard core sanitized. Boys will be boys :)
The boys both were started on steroids yesterday for their lungs. Conner is now officially a 4 pound baby and has been given the clear to wear clothes. So, I am doing laundry as I write this. They have called in a GI(gastrointestinal) specialist for Chase's liver. He has been struggling with eating and as long as he's not on full feeds he's been receiving TPN's through his IV. Well, TPNs can cause liver damage from long term use. I will keep ya'll posted on what the specialist says. On a happy note Chase is up to 4ml every 3 hours so slowly he is catching up to Conner who is off TPNs and all IV fluids with 30 ml every 3 hours.
