Busy Week

This week has been very busy! Monday the babies had a check-up with the pediatrician in Helena at 9. Bryant weighed 10 pounds 10 ounces and Lucy Kate weighed 10 pounds. Dr. Pillow said the babies looked great and weight gain is good. She wanted to have some things checked out with Bryant so we headed over to the hospital for a chest x-ray, blood work, trach culture, and stool sample. Everything came back fine with a little bacterial growth in his trach (which is normal) and we are taking antibiotics. Lucy Kate is doing very well with her reflux and hardly spits up anymore.
Tuesday morning Bryant had an appointment with the ENT in Memphis to have the granulation tissue burned off again. I left Lucy Kate with Vernita and met mom in Lula at 9:30. My mom is so much help and is always able to go with us to the doctor. The ENT said the trach site looked great and Bryant hardly even cried this time when he burned the spot off. Dr. Thompson did say if the tissue does not go away after about 5 more times of burning it that we will have to go into surgery and clip it off. We go back on the 1st so he can burn it again. Bryant did so great all day and ran errands with my mom and I. We met my cousins for lunch and I was even able to get a manicure and pedicure! We did not get back to Lyon until 8:30, we were worn out.
Wednesday, the photographer came over at 1:00 for the babies 3 month pictures. Will Jacks from Cleveland took the pictures and he is so great to work with. We did some family pics and pics of each baby separately and together and then pictures of me with the babies. I am so excited to see the photos, he said it would take about a week and a half to get the slide show together that he will e-mail to me. The babies did great for all the pictures and stayed awake until the very end. Just wanted to let everyone know what we have been up to this week.
