Updates...

Today was a big day for our little Joshua because he's been transferred to NICU Level 2! It's a good news coz that means he's improving, but at the same time it's sad news for us because they are seperated again, and we lost his primary nurses. I guess we have to start looking again.

They've been saying that Josh is ready to be bottlefed as well. He's been showing cues that he's ready for it, like putting his hand in his mouth and licking it, he's more awake for a long periods of time, and when we give him his soother he'll start sucking. Last night, his nurse bottle fed him. He consumed 4 mils in 2 minutes. He was quiet funny because as soon as he was done, he was knocked out! I guess he really got tired and used up a lot of energy. At least he didn't complain that he has to start working for his food now!

And our little Joscel had her eye surgery 3 days ago. Her ROP went up to Stage 3 and it was critical for her to have that surgery, otherwise she may lose her sight. They gave her an extra dose of sedation so she won't feel any pain or move during the surgery, as she squirms quiet a bit. She's just starting to move around now and she is peeing out the medication, and is more active when she's awake. She's really puffed up, and retaining a lot of fluids. They also had to re-intubate her for the surgery and they're hoping that she'll be ex-tubated soon. They gave her some more "Smarties", or blood transfusion to get her blood oxygen up.
I (Cey) also took my Canadian Citizenship Exam this morning, no results yet but hopefully I passed it. It'll be great to be a Canadian citizen since the "Jos" (JOSeph, JOScel, JOShua) are all citizens of this country.
