Getting Close....

Over the last several days, Isabel has given us a couple of scares. Several times she has turned blue during her feedings. This is NOT a fun feeling. She has struggled to coordinate her swallowing with breathing and the result has been choking and holding her breath. We had been very worried about her and her progress, but a couple of nights ago she really showed interest in feeding. She really attacked that bottle! Even though she was unable to take much, we were encouraged by how much she wanted to eat and knew it was time. Yesterday she turned a big corner. That sweet baby took 1 full bottle and 90% of another. Over night she took 3 half bottles and then another full bottle this morning. It was like she just finally "got it." Her current weight is 5 lbs 2 oz.

Alexander has taken every bottle that has been offered over the last 24 hours. He is doing great. They say it won't be long now until he can come home and Isabel is close too. I hope by the end of next week we will have at least one Little Wilson home with us! His current weight is 6 lbs 2 oz.

They have weaned them off there meds except for reflux medication and some vitamins. The day is getting closer and Greg and I have been preparing the house. Wednesday we will get the car seat installation inspected. We pray they will be home soon without complications. I am too excited for words!

Love,
Susan
