Ezra and Sasha Update

Ezra Lee Daninger, 5 lbs, 7 oz, 18.25 inches long

We now have a photo of Ezra, courtesy of Sara's facebook page. I tried to add some others, but they were too compressed to be very big and when I tried to expand them were too furry. He is gorgeous.

He is off the ventilator and out of the incubator and is now in a crib. He is eating more every day and seems to be growing a little. They don't know when he will be home, but it will be before Thanksgiving.

Sasha was readmitted into the hospital on Saturday with feeding problems. She has the cleft palate which makes it difficult to feed her and also suffers from acid reflux that makes her miserable. At Children's Hospital in Minneapolis, they were able to give Caitlin new bottles that work really well for Sasha and a "sling" so she can sleep at a 45 degree angle to help with the acid reflux. It worked so well that she gained almost three ounces in two days!

She has changed so much in the last two weeks! I will be having her and Caitlin stay over next weekend so I will have some great photos. We are also hosting Sara's baby shower and probably doing some scrapbooking.

More updates to follow.
