Anna is still recovering in Boston, she had to be put on a different type of ventilator this morning to help expand her lungs better, and ease breathing. As of 6:00pm she was doing very good and if she continues in this direction they will consider getting her home on Friday.
Nicholas is still getting antibiotics for his bowel infection he has 2 more days to go-they may consider feeding him on Friday after they discontinue the antibiotics to see how his belly tolerates feeds again. He also has a hernia that is being monitored-that will be repaired before he goes home unless it gets worse sooner, it is common for small babies to get hernias and the staff is not concerned at this point because he has more "serious clinical issues" to deal with.
Boston was discussed today, the NICU team feels that if they can stabilize the bowel infection, fluid in his lungs and try to get him fed they will send him to Boston next. He over the last few days has pretty much proven to the doctors that he needs to get his PDA repaired also. The doctors know that he needs the surgery but they don't want to send a sick baby for surgery so I don't know when he will go, they mentioned the possibility of having him go on the return flight to Boston when Anna returns to Fletcher Allen but that depends on his progress with current concerns.
Katie is getting her food increased each day and is doing well, her nurses tell me that when it is time to eat she lets everybody know-it's true I have seen it. Katie gets very aggitated every 3 hours so when its time to eat she needs to eat!!! Katie is overall doing well, she of course has daily obstacles but she is hangin on just fine. My children want to be here as much as we want them here!!!
New pics coming soon...
I hope you are all doing good and have a great night.
God Bless and be well.
Love,
Sarah, Louie, Anna, Katie, and Nicholas

Thanks, Sarah, for the updates. Lots of love to you and Louie, and the three little muskateers. I hope the weeks ahead bring less and less of the daily stress you are having now. You are both incredibly strong and we are full of love and admiration.
Hugs, A Sue and U Frank

I am so glad to hear that Anna is making progress. I pray that she is soon able to join her brother and sister back in Burlington. I hope that Nicholas continues to progress and that he is soon on his way to have his surgery. Hernia repair is quite routine. Both my brother and my nephew had to have it. Glad to hear that Katie is doing so well! I continue to keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
Hey there, glad everyone is responding to their treatments. Your little family will continue to be on many prayer chains. It works, as we can see.Pat Bailey asked me to please let your know you and your little ones are in her prayers constantly & she will continue to keep them there. Stay strong both of you.
