Just a quick note on the boys for today:
Brody is doing great and up to 17cc's of milk and IV. pic line free... still on his vent but doing very well. Theme of the week for Brody is nutrition and weight gain.
Cameron has been hammered with one thing after another-staying tough but could really catch a break. On the very good side, his PDA closed up for now and he won't need another dose of Indocin. He went back on his vent this morning as the poor little guy was all tuckered out and his bloodwork came back positive for Staph-the specific strain we will know tomorrow. One of a preemies biggest enemies is infection so I was a nervous wreck all day waiting for more information on what this means for Cameron. He is now on the strongest antibiotics they can give him to hopefully knock it right out. Please say one of those prayers you've all been so good at for Cameron. He's tired and aggitated and just wants to be left alone to grow like his brother.
They are both getting cuter and cuter by the day. It's amazing to watch their features grow before our eyes... Brody is surely a Collins (he looks exactly like Brett-one teeny tiny itsy bitsy Brett) and Cameron a Tannenbaum (strangely just like my brothe)r. Ugh, they are the cutest!
Hi Melissa,

It's no wonder Cameron & Brody are such fighters.
