Ok, so the Indocin (sp?) Collin had received in six doses did not work in closing the PDA. So it remains. That's the bad news. The good news, though, is that one Dr had said it is "more of an annoyance than a problem" and Collin has not shown any negative signs - no distress, no struggling heart rates, etc. We're very grateful for that. So for now they'll check it every once in a while (including monitoring by the pediatrician when we get home), but probably it's something a cardiologist will check out when he's 3-4 months old and decide on a best course of action. So we continue to hope and pray that he will continue to remain positive and steady, free of any distress.
Emery is, as one Dr said, "on cruise control". Wow, what a blessing. We realize it could change at any moment, but for now she is feeding well, taking in more calories and slowly gaining weight. She LOVES to smile, and we think when she hears mommy's voice, she really does try to look at Erin and gives an occasional grin. So cute.
We are able to hold them now, and tonight the nurse even arranged things so Erin could hold them both at the same time. So fun. A little tricky with cords, lines and wires, but fun nonetheless. Emery slept and Collin was awake for a minute, but I like to think they were just a little bit more comfortable snuggled up close to their best friend once again. :)
