Wow, what a long day it has been.
I want to start by saying thank you all for the extra prayers going out to Kennedy, she has been placed on an oscillator (different type of respirator) that seems to help get her oxygen levels under control.
Both babies started on Indocin today to hopefully close their PDA valve in their heart. This is a common issue with babies born this early but it is the leading cause of Kennedy's pulmonary hemmoraging. They cannot feed them during the next 24-48 hours due to their treatment however they are receiving proteins and other nutrients through their IV.
The emotions and lack of sleep are beginning to take their toll on mommy and daddy. So many bells, alarms, wires, and machines are hooked up to their tiny little bodies. So many uncertainties, potential problems, and future side affects have our minds going in so many directions. The hope and love that we have for Drake and Kennedy will keep us pushing on.
