Twins' health update.

I took Kaimen to the eye doctor today for his followup. We have been going back there every few weeks since Kaimen has been home. Because of being on so much oxygen since the day he was born, is caused some problems for his eyes. The doctor was concerned with Kaimen boy because he had quite a bit of bleeding behind his eyes, which if left untouched can cause major vision problems even blindness. Luckily we went today to find out that his left eye looks like it has improved and he doesn't have to be seen for 6 more months and probably won't need surgery. This was great news for me to hear and one less doctor we have to see on a regular basis. I'm also happy to announce that Danica is completly off of her oxygen and only sleeps with her apnea monitor on at night. Kaimen is off his oxygen during the day. This is awesome for many reason, but the thing I really appreciate is wire free babies when we take them places. It makes outings a lot more pleasant.

The twins had their 6 month check up last week. Danica is weighing in at 15 lbs 3 ounces and Kaimen at 14 lbs 8 ounces. They told us to cut back with Danica, she's getting a little too porky. We're trying but that girl loves her food! Kaimen has appointments with 3 different specialists next week...the kidney specialist, the nueroligist, and the GI specialist. Hopefully they'll be able to help us resolve the issues he's having. As of now his kidney stones are still there and he is still throwing up a few times a day.

Lately all the appointments have been getting to be a pain. But when I took Kaimen to the doctor today, I really enjoyed the time that we had to spend together. I figure with having twins and not being able to spend as much one on one time as I would like to with my babes, this is my time. While me and Kaimen waited for the doctor today, we sang and talked and snuggled.
