A True Christmas Blessing

I know I haven't posted in awhile and I apologize we have had family in and out along with some house issues.

The boys are now two months old and Michael and I got a true blessing today. The doctor gave us the clear to hold both boys today. 


 I got to hold Conner for about an hour and half. He was so calm and fell right to sleep until he got hungry then he was trying to help himself to lunch :) Conner is still on the conventional ventilator. He has tried the C pap twice now and did pretty good but he ended up getting a case of pnuemonia and the doctors felt it was best to keep him on the vent while getting antibiotics. He will be getting another round of steroids to help with lung development later this week. Conner is up to 30ml (an ounce) every 3 hours.  


Michael got to hold Chase for about 45 minutes today. Chase enjoyed snuggling with Daddy and was very interested in his chest hair :) Chase is now on what they call high flow oxygen. He is breathing on his own but the oxygen is pushed in through his nose to remind him to breath. Chase has started to eat a little bit more since his surgery. He is now getting 2ml every 3 hours.
