The results are in

Over the weekend we got the results of the test ran on the boys earlier in the week, to determine the cause of their spells. Thomas' results told us that he still has immature breathing patterns, which is the reason for the heart rate and breathing rate drops. Michael on the other hand did have reflux issues. He was put on medication to help control this. We basically have two choices, we can wait for the boys to go seven days with out having a spell where their heart rate drops or their breathing rate drops, or we can bring them home on monitors that would let us know if one of the boys is having a spell. As of yesterday Thomas was on day 2 of his spell count and Michael was on day 3. We are going to let them try to finish this spell count and make it to seven days. If they are unable to go the seven days without spells, then we will bring them home on monitors. We are ready to get the boys home. We don't have a specific discharge date yet, but when we do, we will let you all know.

Otherwise both boys are doing well. They are continuing to eat well and sleep well between feedings. They are going about 3-4 hours between feedings. They are also continuing to gain weight. Thomas was at 5 lb 7 oz and Michael was at 5 lb 9 oz yesterday.
