two peas in a pod but each their own

I might have had two peas in a pod and they might be close to identical in weight, length, head size... but man are they doing different things.  Dylan continues to do very well.  His feeds are slowly going up, his O2 is going down... for the most part he is holding steady with perhaps a slight incline.  Logan on the other hand is a hot mess!  In just the time we were there today his heart rate dropped drastically 3 or 4 times.  Now, Jake and I have some experience with this (they are called brady cardias) because JT use to love to have them frequently.  Logan however needed a lot of stimulation to get himself back on track.  Granted he did do it himself as in no need for further medical treatment but it was not fast.  Logan had a platelet transfusion last night and his platelet count is up! yay! Today he had a sonogram of his heart.  They think an artery that is in babies in the womb but needs to go away once born is still open and causing some problems.  The cardiologist hadn't read the results yet so I am hopeful I will hear something tomorrow.  Last night they also collected a urine sample from Logan to test for a virus.  It is possible his troubles stem from an infection and if that is the case they will treat it with antibiotics.  Truth be told, I am praying for an infection.  If it's an infection and they can treat it with antibiotics its just one less thing that could be wrong.  Logan also had a second blood transfusion today to I will see how that went tomorrow.  I am hoping and praying that like Dylan the blood transfusion kinda kicks him into high gear and helps him to the point where he can start helping himself.
So our prayers are simple, please pray that Logan has no bleeds in his body.  Pray there are other reasons behind why he is struggling so much.  Pray the transfusions help strengthen him and give him what he needs to fight on.
We still have yet to hold either of the boys and I don't expect to for at least another week or more.  But I am looking forward to it.


This is Logan.  He has really dark hair and more of an oblong face like JT and Jake.

This is Dylan.  He has the lightest hair out of all of my boys.  Maybe I did get one blonde baby?!? His face seems to be a little more like Ethan and Caleb.
