Micah's Trip to the Otolaryngologist
Micah went back to the ENT for a follow-up yesterday. He got scoped again...that poor baby! His condition has improved, but not as well as the doctor would like to see. So we're going back in another month.
I don't know how to explain it well, but the structures/muscles above his voice box is narrow, but it doesn't collapse like it did when he was born. He believes give him some time, he should grow out of it. The esophagus is still a bit swollen, but it no longer has that redness. He still need to condition his medication to see if the condition will improve. I don't know if it makes sense.
Elias was fussy and wouldn't sleep while his brother and I were away. He seems to be calmer with Micah around. Maybe I should test it out again. hehe~

1 month old
It's been almost a month now since I updated. The boys are now just over a month old =)
Elias is now 8lbs 4oz and Micah is 7lbs 10oz. They're getting so chubby!
Micah came home on 1/3. He was so good in the hospital even the nurses and doctors were poking him with needles and inserting tubes into his nose. We thought Elias will be the difficult baby...were we wrong or what?!? Micah is the cry baby. Actually, he goes right to screaming and skips the crying. Elias calmed down since Micah came home.
The nursing has been difficult. I got myself two little golden piggies (Chinese Zodiac year for 2007), and they sure live up to it. They eat so much for their age. I'm still trying to feed to exclusively on breast milk, but I'm not making enough. I don't think I'm eating and drinking enough. I supposed to eat extra 400-500 calories PER BABY! I don't even eat that much during pregnancy. Now I'm so tired all the time, I lost all appetite.
They're so cute though. I promise to post picture soonPublish Post. Preston has the computer on LINUS and I have no idea how to find the pictures =P

Update on baby Elias and baby Micah
It's been a week since we came home from the hospital. Elias is really draining me out. As you may know, I LOVE and NEED my sleep. He won't wake up when it's feeding time; when it's time to sleep, he's wild awake, which makes everything just that much harder and longer. By the time he's settled down, his next feeding time it's only an hour away. But praise God He's listening to our prayers; he was doing better last night. I hope it will continue, so I can get some rest.
As for Micah, he had another episode two nights ago during his sleep, which was more dangerous than feeding time. So it's another 5-7 days from his last episode before he can come home (if he's episode free during the observation time.) Please continue to keep him in your prayers. I'm really sad and going nuts at this point because i was expecting him to come home either tomorrow or Friday; but I know it's better that it happened at the hospital than at home.
