It's just one of those days,,,,

Jo has been sick for almost 4 days now. He caught that "flu" that goes around and that means he hasn't seen our babies for a couple of days. He wanted to see them so bad but he restricted himself not to... it's for our babies' health anyway so what I do is take lots of pictures and videos. I get to cuddle them both though, one at a time!
Today, we called their nurse to check on our babies (we do it everyday before heading to the hospital) and she said that Joscel is having apnea every hour which means she's not breathing at all and turns bluish/grayish. They did their routine which was check her CBC and CRP for infection and the results came back normal. They also wanted to make sure she's safe from it so they did blood culture which we need to wait for a couple of days for the result. And in order to prevent infection, they are giving her antibiotics. They also did an x-ray for her lungs because she wasn't improving. They found out that her lungs are wet which is due to her chronic lung disease (normal for premies) so they gave her Lasix to get rid of that wetness. The doctors said if her breathing still doesn't improve, they might intubate her again and that requires the old ventilation machine. HOPEFULLY NOT ANYMORE! Please help us pray  that her breathing will improve and that her blood culture will come back negative.  
On the other hand, Joshua is doing really well. He knows how to keep us strong.
We still have 2 more months to go and we know all these are part of God's plan for the 4 of us. Of course, God still shakes us once in a while just to make sure we're still holding on to HIM right?

Thinking of you and praying... Let me know if you need a ride to the hospital, Cey! The offer always stands.
