The twins continue to grow everyday. This week we experienced our first "NICU hurdles". Emily received medicine for her PDA (heart ductus that didn't close like it was supposed to), however the treatment was not successful. The doctors say she is not having ill effects from her PDA so they will continue to observe her. The hope is it will correct itself, if not she will eventually have surgery to correct it. Michael was treated with antibiotics for an infection and also given a blood transfusion. Unfortunately he had to be intubated and put on a respirator to help him breathe while he was weakend from the infection. We are happy to report that he was taken off the respirator and put back on the nasal cannula on Thursday; he seems to be stronger than ever!
