Next to Each Other :)

Today was a great day for Kiernan and Graydan. They are now sharing the little cubical thing over near the windows (which is where Kiernan has been the whole time, but Graydan was over by the entrance). They can see each other now and it's much nicer for Mathew and I, as opposed to running back and forth across the room to see each baby.

Kiernan is back on the Cannela after a few bad apnea episodes, but is only on the lowest setting rather than needing extra support. He is basically just receiving the pressure without extra air mixed in. So not a bad thing, just showing that he needed it a bit longer. They will take him off of it again in another few days and see if he is more able to fight the apnea himself. Kiernan is also looking much bigger and weighs in at 2.10!

Graydan is doing so much better after the blood transfusion. His color is better and he's much more active than he was the last few days. It was a very successful process that immediately helped with his digestion and moderating his sugar levels. He is back up at 25% O2 mixture, which is basically just compensating for the extra fluid from the transfusion. They believe he will be back down to the "room air"- 21% O2 ratio tomorrow. He is also gaining weight well, and weighs slightly more than Kiernan. He is currently 2.10.6.

Both were happy and smiling when we visited. It is nice to see them in good moods. :)
