Friday, 6/3

We had a better nurse today, although the day was kindof shaky in regards to they boys stats.  They both had to be on more oxygen to keep their levels up today.  I was kindof concerned, but figured they may be having a dip.  I would much rather see them progressing at this point...for obvious reasons.

I'm stressing about managing every ones time at home and who's going to watch the kids and when.  I'm trying to figure out when I can have the kids come up here to see the babies and spend some time together with them, as well as finding some relief for my mom, who is taking care of them right now.  I know she desperately wants to see the babies, but knows I need her in California to watch John, Anna and Ava.  For some reason I'm worried about it.

This evening our night nurse is one of my favorites!  She is really gentle with the boys.  Fie just came by to see the boys during their CPAP check/change with all their gear off.  She also brought them reinforcements....lots of milk!!  It'll help their little tummies so much.  She also brought me a couple books to read and some "skittles".  She's great.  I'm really happy she was able to come and see the boys with out all their gear.  They are usually very awake during the 8pm changing, which is a great time to see their little personalities and the very cute things they do. 

The boys are doing great tonight.  After today being shaky on their stats, I'm surprised at how great they are doing tonight.  They have been running on almost no extra oxygen at all...and not desaturating to much.  So, hopefully they are in for a well deserved long rest!!  I think the other nurse...who shall not be named....completely wore them OUT!  We will be trying not to have her again....actually, I'll be doing more than just trying.  I gotta take care of my boys!
