                                                    Marcus and Myles dressed the same.
                                        Even the tiniest newborn socks are too big for Marcus.
Today Marcus had a hearing test done, he didn't pass, so they will do a more sensitive test soon. The physical therapist met with us today as well, she will start working with Marcus on Monday. He was also started on a diuretic to help with the fluid still in his lungs, which hopefully will mean he can be taken back off the oxygen soon. The nurses are trying to wean him out of his isolette, however he gets stressed out so easily, and with so many other things to work on his little body just is not ready to handle the stress of regulating temperature. His doctor mentioned he may need a g-tube, which is a feeding tube inserted into his abdomen, later on, but told me not to worry about it now, he would wait until Marcus was closer to 40 weeks to make that call.
Myles is still going strong. He is taking a bottle feed a day, he usually takes about 5-10ccs at a time, then gets tired and falls back asleep. This kid is always sleeping, Steven keeps saying he is resting for when he comes home. I think that is a good idea, because with all the noise around here, there is no rest. Today he was entertaining me with his face making abilities while I was trying to feed him.
