Brett and Gantt were able to move together to share a crib for the first time! Brett is on the left and Gantt is on the right. They are doing really well - after all, they'd been sharing the same space for 32 weeks in utero. Gantt is the wiggle-worm and his hands were all in Brett's face, but Brett slept right through it. One time during an ultrasound we tried to get a good picture of Brett, but Gantt's leg was hanging over his face...so I guess he is just used to it!
They are both progressing really well. The DNA tests for Gantt came back. He is a carrier of CF, but he does not have it. They also took the feeding tube out because he is eating from the bottle so well.
Brett is progressing as well. He has had his food increased, but his output is a little too high which means he is not digesting enough. (this is to be expected) The doctors at UNC are very good. They have given us a lot of information about CF. The only thing they can do for him right now is physical therapy. Someone comes in twice a day and pats on his chest to help break up the phlegm. He actually enjoys this right now, but it does wear him out a little.
The two boys seem very happy and they really are precious together!
How sweet to see them together, and to hear that they are both progressing at their own speeds.
ReplyDeleteI look at my Grandsons many times daily. I love them dearly. My priority prayer is for little Brett to be well and live a normal, healthy life.
ReplyDeleteI'm still looking forward to having 3 little boys in my lap calling out...."Pop- Play with us!" They won't be denied.
