2.5 weeks old!!!

The boys are 2.5 weeks old today! Tryan weighs 2lbs 10 ounces  and 16 inches long. Jaxson weighs 2lbs 4 ounces and 16.5 inches long. Both boys keep going back and forth on weight gain.

Mr. Tryan decided he didn't like his cpap this weekend and had some respiratory issues. He had to go back up to 7 on his cpap and was teetering on the verge of needing to be put on the ventilator. They did a sepsis work up which involved a cbc, blood cultures, urine analysis and a urine culture. Poor little guy had a urinary  catheter placed. He was also put on 2 different iv antibiotics. Chest x-ray showed possible pneumonia or lung collapse. This little boy was covered with strong prayers and by Sunday morning his oxygen requirement came down ALOT. He was so much more comfortable. All his cultures came back negative! They changed out his cpap and from then on he did a complete 180! The power of prayer and the power of Jesus' healing was once again demonstrated!!!!

Jaxson had a episode of reflux on Monday so they did a abdominal xray to check to see what was going on. His cpap was putting a lot of air in his tummy and not leaving any room for the milk. He was all the way down to 4 on his cpap and that's the last level before going to a nasal cannula. They put the nasal cannula in him Monday and he is a whole new baby! He is able to lay on his belly at times and his tummy looks a lot better.  The boys definitely look a lot more alike now that a Jaxson has his cpap out!!!

Daddy came down Monday and was here through Tuesday. All three of us were so happy to see him! Daddy got to do skin to skin with both boys while he was down here!!!

Some prayer requests we have is that both boys consistently gain weight, wean Tryan off the cpap, rest for mommy, increased milk supply for boys and safe travels for daddy as he goes back and forth on the road.

We love visitors, especially mommy during the week when she is by herself!! Thanks everyone for all the support and special little gifts that have been given to the boys!!!
