We have had a busy week. Zachary had to go into the hospital again last Monday. He got very dehydrated because he had a cold and nasal congestion and he was pale and having a little trouble breathing. Then on Tuesday, Grandma Carol and Grandpa Kurt had to drive me and his brothers through a blizzard (for real) to go get checked out in the ER because they were having some trouble breathing and they would not wake up to eat and they were getting dehydrated too. Michael and Konrad did not have to stay in the hospital and after the doctors checked their labs we were told to take them home and push fluids so they did not get more dehydrated (how exactly do you push fluids on a preemie that won't wake up...?). We finished in the ER at 3am and the blizzard continued outside so Mike and I stayed the night in an overnight room in the hospital with the two boys and Zachary stayed in his hospital room with Grandma and Grandpa. The boys looked a little better in the morning and so we took them home. We had to have all recruits on board to help for the next 3 days (thank you grandmas and grandpas) while Zachary was in the hospital and the boys were at home and daddy had to go to work. It was very hectic to say the least and we were all worried about the boys in both locations. Thankfully, Zachary came home on Thursday afternoon and we were all together again. Mike's birthday was on Saturday and by the weekend all of the babies were looking healthy again. They just have stuffy noses to show for their ordeal last week and even those are getting better.
We had a doctor appointment on Monday and they all got a clean bill of health. Michael weighed in at 5lb 5oz, Konrad weighed in at 5lb 0oz, and Zachary weighed in at 5lb 2oz, so they are all gaining weight very well. They are eating like champs and waking up every 3 hours or so ready to EAT and cranky if you make them wait! We are hoping that things will continue to be well and calm and that we can settle into a routine.
All home and safe!
Mommy and Konrad
