Stages 1 & 2

So Audrey and Thomas both have Stage 1 Retinopathy of Prematurity (i.e. ROP: abnormal blood vessel growth in the eye). It's mild enough that the doctor doesn't feel the need to see them again until the regular 2 week follow up. Charlotte, however, has Stage 2 ROP, so they'll follow up with her in 1 week. Apparently, they don't actually intervene and treat unless/until it reaches Stage 3 with "plus disease" (which is inflammation); they just watch. They said that Stages 1 & 2 typically resolve on their own, so here's hoping and praying for that and for no further progression of the condition. 

Charlotte continues to be just ahead of Audrey in weight, but both are on the brink of 3lbs. Thomas and Charlotte have both begun the process of being weaned from the temperature controlled isolette in preparation for an open air crib. They should all be in cribs by sometime next week, I would guess. Yay! 

Oh, and my mom is recovering from her heart surgery like a champ. She might even be able to go home tomorrow.

And Hannah is on medicine now and seems to be feeling a bit better. Whew. Here's hoping we sleep through the night tonight (literally just heard her wake and cry as I typed the last word of that sentence). Fingers crossed. 

Thanks for all the prayers!
