Brynns Big Day

Thursday May 14, 2009 was a big step forward for Brynn. He was taken off the ventilator and put on the CPAP machine. Dr. Reber told us on Tuesday that because Brynn had so many spells (like 2,ooo a day) she was going to change his breathing tub.. thinking that there was mucus surrounding the end of the tube, causing Brynn to not get the amount of air that he needed.  She said that she would be "Daring" and try Brynn on CPAP; even though, most doctors would NEVER try Brynn on CPAP at that point because his oxygen and pressure requirements were way too high.  But like everything else Brynn has done he has shocked the world and proven all the doctors wrong! As of now he is still off of the ventilator and has only 2 to 5 spells a day.  The doctors keep telling us.. he is a Medical Miracle! 

Not to be out done by her big brother.. Thursday May 14, 2009 was also a HUGE day for Mia. She took to a bottle for the first time.  The nurse told us that she would like to see Mia finish the bottle in 25 minutes but it took Miss Mia 45 minutes because she kept falling asleep!  Sorry there are no pictures for Mia.. the camera was left at home.. but we will post pictures from the next bottle feeding.

These kids are growing so fast and we are so excited to get them home soon. 


Here are some pictures from Brynns big day:

hour after Brynn was put on CPAP.



Just checking out the world without a tube down
his throat. What a feeling!!



"Breathing on my own is awesome!"



Brynn is just showing off for the camera. Breathing
and sucking his binky all by himself.

  4. Go Brynn!!! That is awesome, he looks wonderful!!!! We wonder how you guys are doing since you've left Children's, thanks for the updates. I miss Dr. Cordero and the "conversations" he would have with Ian. Ian's off CPAP for good now, on cannula and in a crib. He is nursing like a champ....even when he was on CPAP. They are giving him bottles, but he likes the breast better (a true man's man that boy is) We miss your friendly faces, but are so glad the twins are together and doing so well. Did you ever think we'd get to this point?

    keep the updates and pictures coming!
