Bob's entry-
Hello everyone! Here is the latest. This morning Tracey woke up with severe leg pain. She went to the ER and found out she had a blood clot that went from her ankle to just below her knee. So, we are back at the hospital. She is getting a treatment of heparin. Once this regulates, she will get a treatment of coumadin for 3-6 months. We will be in the hospital for a few days of monitoring and hopefully be home by Christmas. Our families have been very helpful and supportive and we both thank you. Logan is feeling a bit better. He was up last night and this morning throwing up and diarhea. The throwing up has subsided, but he still has the "runs". He was in better spirits this evening.
One benefit of being here is that we get to see the babies more often. They are doing well. Noah and Justin had echo's done because of a murmur. They are on some meds to close the blood vessell that did not close on their heart. This closes normally in full term babies, but seems to be pretty common of not closing in preemies. They will get their blood checked every once in a while to make sure it is not affecting thier kidneys (side affect). Mason is up to 6.5 ml of food and is eating great. Noah and Justin cannnot eat until they are done with their round of meds for their heart. They all cried (squeeled) a bit today and it was cute. We are going down to see them around 8:00 pm and hopefully we get to hold any one of them. I know it will help with everything that has been going on.
