Today we had a few downs which is how it goes, but it’s a bit discouraging to say the least.  Riley is acting a little puny today– breathing has been a lot of work for her today, so they put her back on the cannula while we were there at 5:30.  She’s been less active which either means: infection or that she’s just tired from working so hard breathing.  We’re praying the cannula helps and they took blood labs to check for infection.  PLEASE PRAY that she’s free form infection and acting her normal sweet self soon– moving around and fussing!  Pray too for us (especially me… you know, the one who’s hormones are CRAZY since she just had (TWO) babies… ) that we not worry- that we put our whole hearted trust in the Lord that they will be okay.  Reese is doing pretty well today– she’s had a couple bradies though.  PRAY that she breathe without those hold her breath moments.  She also has been spitting up today- pray that she tolerates her feeds better (she’s up to 22cc’s!).  We tried the bottle with her again today (not Riley since her temp was low and she was acting so sleepy) and she didn’t really want to wake up for it!  Richey fed her today and I got the funniest picture!  It pretty much sums it up: it looks as if she’s saying, “what is this? and WHY are you trying to put it in my mouth?!” ha!  Thank you for your prayers.  Pray that we not become discouraged but focus on the wonderful strides our teeny tiny preemie girls have made in these 3 weeks.  Thank you!
