Friday Evening Update

Just a quick update. Collin seems to be doing better. We have just let him rest today. He is still on just a flow of air. No oxygen at this time. I did his care (diaper change, temp, etc...) and he seemed to respond well. His numbers looked good through it all. He also responded well to the feedings. He just seems to be doing better all around since the last post. The docs will repeat a white blood cell count tomorrow just in case the infection is in its early stages. They also sent a culture off so we will hear the results of that in a couple of days. The docs also mentioned that they had heard a murmur again. It is very faint which may be the PDA he had before. If they hear this tomorrow, they will do an ultrasound and depending on results they will come up with a plan of action.  They also have heard heart murmurs in the girls.  The nurse tonight said that Bailey's was the most apparent.  I don't know what their plan is for the girls.  Obviously they aren't as concerned with the girls because they are doing so well.  We will talk with the doctors in regards to them also so please pray for the girls too.

Some other good news. The girls have been moved next to each other.  The reason being that there is limited space in the NICU. They are getting another set of triplets and some other babies so they moved Bailey in with Anniston. We so wish that all of them could be together but only two can be at a station because of outlet space. We will try to get some pics of the girls together and post them on the website.

I think that is all for now. We will continue to keep a close eye on Collin. We don't know why he is having such a hard time without the help of some air flow and the docs will continue to try to figure it all out. We will keep you updated. Please keep praying for him and the girls too. 

Thanks again for your prayers and support.
