This is just a quick post to tell you the good news. We have been moved to the special care room. That puts us even closer to coming home! We are getting so close I can feel it! I guess that it will be sometime within the next two weeks (knock, knock, knock on wood).

Isaac fed Jason last night and he took 20 mls (just under an ounce) by bottle before he succumbed to sleep. I fed Shawn. He impressed me by taking 20 mls of formula by bottle, too; his highest intake since he got sick. Of course, he promptly spit a lot of it back up, but we worked that bottle to get it down in the first place! (And I managed to walk away without any formula on me. Ha!)

Jason is now up to 6 pounds 12 ounces and Shawn is 6 pounds 9 ounces. They are almost out of preemie clothes. (They fit best when they curl their legs up; otherwise, they are a smidgen too short!)

The boys had head ultrasounds on Saturday, and things are looking really good. Jason's u/s showed no inflammation. The doctor said that it looks like there is little evidence of him having hydrocephalus at all! Woohoo! He still thinks that there should be little if any residual effects from his whole episode. (Of course he can't see the future, but he said that if he had to guess, he didn't think that there would be many if any problems for him in the future from this.) Shawn's u/s showed one ventricle with no inflammation and the other with mild/moderate inflammation--much less than he had on last week's scan. He hasn't had any more seizures and he has been off the seizure meds for over a week. We are definitely heading in the right direction!

Christmas was a little bittersweet because the boys weren't with us at home, but I am not complaining. My boys are on their way to recovery, and that is the best gift ever!
