Sunday night update

I don’t have much time so I don’t update the blog as often as I would like. It seems that I often get a chance on Sunday night.

Katelyn:

I just left Amy at the hospital. She is feeding Katelyn for an overnight 12-hour period. Luckily they let her use one of the sleep rooms so she can get some sleep in-between feedings. The success varies from feeding to feeding. She usually eats just under her target amount of feed at the end of the 12-hour period. She hasn’t been gaining as much weight as we would hope when we do these 12-hour feeding periods. No one is quite sure what this means. We will keep trying. Once the doctors are satisfied that she is doing well enough with the 12-hour periods they will try a 24-hour period.

They retested Katleyn for C-Diff and she was positive again. There seems to be a lot of question about what it means if she is positive for C-Diff and even a questions if they treat it again. We will have to talk to the doctor on Monday and see.

Brandon:

Brandon’s big news is that his operation is scheduled for 1:00 on Monday. Keep him in your prayers. This certainly isn’t as big of an operation as his first one but they have prepared us for all of the potential problems. Even if the surgery goes well, recovery could be along slow process. Everyone has a different estimate and we have heard everything from 2 days to 21 days for recovery. It seems that a week is most likely but in any case they have warned us he may not look good for a while.

Brandon’s eyes are doing well. The doctor said they are regressing and he will take another look at them in a week. It appears that the chances of him loosing his eyesight are pretty slim at this point. It will be along time however before we will know if he will need glasses.

Here are some photos of the boys having fun:
