Two Weeks Old

Well the girls are now two weeks old. We are so happy that they have come so far in just these two short weeks. They went by so quickly!

We have had some wonderful news in these past few days. 

Ellison was approved to move from Good Sam over to Children's to be with Trenna. She was transferred this past Friday, and even more amazing, her bed is straight across from Trenna! The Sherwoods have taken over the back of Pod H! We are so happy the girls can be near each other and thrilled for Shannon and Trevor to not have to go back and forth between hospitals anymore. Amazingly convenient! 

Look how beautiful Ellie is, all that is left on her is her little orange feeding tube.

You may notice that the tube is placed down her nasal passage. This is done so that it is easier for her to continue to learn how to suck, she must be able to do this before she can even released from the hospital.

They are hoping that she may only need to be at Childrens for maybe 4 more weeks.

Trenna is doing pretty good, she is now up to 8ml of feed. This little gal is pushing through each day. We experienced our first minor set back today. The doctor said it was nothing too alarming and can be expected with premies. Trenna is working very hard to breathe, so they needed to up her oxygen along with a blood transfusion in order for the blood to carry more oxygen throughout her tiny little body. Because of the additional blood, they needed to place her back on lasix. The doctors will continue to watch her and believe she will be just fine.

So excited to share the first family photo!!!!!!
