The crazy, unpredictable NICU ride took another turn today. Corbin was not breathing like himself - there were several times when his oxygen rate dropped, and this is not typical for him. The nurse and doctor decided to put him on a nasal cannula (like what Quinn has) to help him breath more easily, and it seemed to be doing it's job. The doctor said it could be caused by reflux (since he is going up on feeds) or he could be getting sick. Mom was worried about his PDA having something to do with it, so they are giving him another heart scan tomorrow. The doctor and nurses said they do not believe it is playing a part, but the doctor wanted the scan to "put a rest to the PDA"...Mom and Dad liked that idea. They are also keeping his feeds at 12 mL's for now. On a lighter, brighter note - Corbin got a bath last night and had a great, fuzzy, Billy Idol-inspired hair-do today! Unfortunately Mom forgot the camera for pictures.
Quinn had a fairly quiet day. They are keeping his feedings at 5 mL's until he begins digesting it more consistently. He did get quality time with Mom, which did everyone some good.
Both little guys are still missing their Daddy, who continues to try his hardest to get well. More pictures tomorrow...
