Busy Week

I've had some sad moments for the past two days, and...well...I'm human and that is ok. We have two amazing children who have already defied a multitude of odds, and we are extremely grateful for both of them. All we can do now is be there for our children, continue to hope & pray, and move forward from here.

This is a busy week ahead here in Special Care. Tomorrow morning Drake will have his swallow study. He absolutely loves to take a bottle so I hope that the test goes well so that he can move on to infant driven feeds. Tuesday, Kennedy will be having a brain sono, and as you can imagine we are a little nervous. Back in June, both of their brain sonos were picture perfect, and now we know the lasting effects of an infection in these tiny babies is devastating. We will be meeting with the developmental doctor on Friday to discuss Drake and what we can do for him. Also, this week our neonatologist will be consulting with a neurologist. We have decided to go ahead and hear what they have to say and use it as a baseline. Through our love and support we will let Drake let us know what he can do, which I know will surpass doctors expectations.
