We're Home

I know it’s been a while since I updated but we have been very busy. 

Kamryn was able to come home from the hospital on May 21^st after Landon & I spent the night with her at the hospital.  She is still on caffeine and still experiences some suck apnea. 

Karsyn came home on May 28^th.  Landon & I also had to spend the night with her so we could learn how to use the apnea monitor.  The doctor at the hospital says she’ll have to be on the monitor for 3-6 months.  She continues to get her daily dose of caffeine.

At their doctor appointment this past week, Kamryn weighed 6 lbs 12 oz & is 18”.  Karsyn is 5 lbs 8 oz & is 17.1”.  They will get their 1^st shots next week.

Along with the regular pediatrician appointments, we have to go the eye doctor every 2 weeks until their retinas are finished developing.  It’s a rather stressful appointment.  They get their eyes dilated which can take hours.  Then the doctor uses a tool to hold their eyes open & sticks another instrument in their eyes to check the retina. 

While we cannot wait for Kamryn & Karsyn to meet all their wonderful family & friends, please understand that we are following the doctor’s orders that they not have any visitors for a while.  They simply can’t afford to get to get sick.  Even though they are almost 2 months old, in preemie land they are -3 weeks (yes, that’s negative 3 weeks old).
