Circumference, circumvent, circum-something

Hello again. It has been a few days. Yesterday was a fairly good day. Collin didn't desat too much and the girls did pretty well too. They were all a bit tired though. Collin did have his little boy surgery yesterday. He seemed to do pretty well with it.

Today has brought and will bring several more tests for the children. All of them passed their eye exams. They have followups in two weeks (that is normal). Collin had his red blood cell count done again. He was still low (even a bit lower than last time), but they did see that his count of young red blood cells was up (indicating that his bone marrow has started producing new red blood cells). On the previous test, they didn't see these young red blood cells. So hopefully in the next week or so we will see his red blood cell count go up. Collin and Anniston are going to have EKGs done to make sure they don't have PDAs (the lung bypass blood vessel that should close up after they are born).  Results for these should be available tomorrow.

Mom is still working on nursing the kiddos. The bottle feeds are going OK, but the kids have seemed to slow down a little bit (they seem to do very well at night but have more trouble finishing bottles during the day).

Thanks for all the pediatrician recommendations. Thanks for your continued prayers. The Lord continues to bless us daily.
