2 steps forward and 1 step back?

Hey all,
Well, Cade and Connor decided they would forget to breath a few times today. A few episodes of apnea prompted the docs to reintubate............and we were doing so well!! Looks like they will leave them like that and monitor closely and hopefully go back to high flow nasal canula tomorrow.
My little Rock Star, Alex, is still kickin it on his own.
We are still trying to figure out the feedings (Alex made a huge poop today, Sweet). We have changed up some of the liquid diet to have a little less sugar content so we can get their blood sugar closer to where we want it.

Well, we have been prepped about the roller coaster that is the NICU - ups and downs - and I guess the "honeymoon period" is over. So far everyone is doing well - just wish we could fast forward through all the tuff stuff and bring them home!

Thanks for all the prayers
Justin
