Wed 6/27 afternoon (my 1st diaper)

I (Brian) got to change my first ever diaper today with Kennedy! At first I was afraid I would be the "Bull in the China Closet" like I am with everything else. It was a very humbling experience for me. I want to pick them up so bad and just hug and kiss them, it is so difficult. I know if I continue to be strong for them that is the best thing I can do. We did get the results back from the echo cardiogram, and the doctor said the PDA valve in the heart is much smaller, so they will not have to start another round of indocin at this time. We will just give it a few days and see if they continue to close on their own. Kennedy is beginning to get mommas milk again at 1 cc every 6 hours. Unfortunately Drake will have to wait; the doctor said he has high acidosis which means the ph in his blood is more acidic than it should be.  This could be caused by several things, one of which could be infection. They sent some blood off for cultures and we will have to wait until tomorrow to know if there is infection or not. They did start him off on antibiotics just to be safe.  Thanks to all for the continued support and prayers,
