Hello, Goodbye

Well we just got back from a doctors appoitment. Italy weighs 19 lbs 1 oz and Eva weighs 19 lbs 4 oz. Italy gained one oz and Eva gained 2 oz. And Logan he weighs more than his sisters and he is only 1 and they are 3. He weighs a whopping 25 lbs! What a little chunker!

Eva, Italy, and Logan all have GJ Tubes. The doctor was talking about them getting a MicKey G-button instead. I think I might go this route. The doc was talking about Italy going to a pain clinic because her pain has gotten out of control. She basically up every night crying and screaming from pain. He also said he can see alot of improvement in Eva since she got her cochelear implant 2 months ago. Italy and Eva have to get glasses. Thier going to be so cute.
The sad news is is that the doctor said Logan is going blind. Yes, my little sweet baby boy is going blind. He said we can get glasses for Logan but sadly he will eventually lose all of his eye sight. He said that it will be a very slow process. Probaly by the age of 3 he will be completly blind. This is so hard and devastating to hear. But I know we will get through this. He will always be the same little energetic funny boy he is. The kids got put on tons of medicine. Prevacid, Zofran, Glycerin suppositories, Nasonex, Tramadol, and Topamax just to name a FEW. The doctor was also talking about giving the girls and Logan botox in thier tummy. I am still quite puzzled at what this is as he didnt go into detail about this.



Cora is 2 weeks old today and is still in critical condition. Her lungs are still severly bound with infection. On the bright side Cora opened her eyes just a wee little bit today! She is still on the conventional ventilator. She got a chest tube put in and a PIC Line inserted. Tomorrow we will begin feedings, and hopefully get to do Kangaroo care! I am so excited!

I will probaly do another post tomorrow on all the kids. God Bless!
