Echo, Poop, Tranfusion, and rest...

This is obviously the resting part!!   Stella loves to pose, and she already loves the attention she is getting.  As you can see, she got an IV line put in her little head, and the one in her arm was removed.  This was to allow a blood transfusion to take place; the line in the arm was too small of a tube for the blood.  This transfusion was to combat the fact that her body is not making enough new cells to cover all of the processes that she is now going through.  She has begun to "suck" a little bit on a pacifier, we are sure that see will be eating from a bottle in no time!

Trey continues to be incubated.  He has sort of been on "pause" for the past day or so; he doesn't improve by much, but he doesn't go backwards.  The docs were concerned he hadn't pooped all night, so they gave him a glycerin chip and while daddy was holding him, the magic happened!!  An overflowing diaper; all we had to say was...wow!  He also received a follow-up echo cardiogram.  Everything seemed wonderful besides the fact that a valve that needs to heal closed hasn't done so yet, but the doctors believe it will with some more time. (So this was good news)  His progress is up to him, and the doctors have a plan if he decides to stay "stuck" for a few days.  Hopefully he just decides that it is time to catch up to his sister!
