Day 6

So today was a really great day for the Butler family! Cheryl and I got to hold them for the first time. They (NICU) removed Sully's CPAP and ended up not even having to put a nasal cannula in. So he has been free of oxygen for the whole day! Cam had his CPAP removed also but needed to still have a nasal cannula to help him get enough oxygen. He's just not ready to be free yet. :)

They both had their brain scans done this morning and great news no brain bleeds! Camden had his ECG (EchoCardioGram) to check his for his heart murmur. Those results haven't come back yet. We'll let you know when we find out. The stomachs did a little better today. With a little help from another suppository Sully cleared out his meconium plug. Oh happy day! :)

Please keep praying for these guys. It was a huge answer to prayer to know that there was no bleeding in their brains. They will scan the brains again in 30 days. Also please keep praying against infections as this is one of the more threatening things that will follow us through this journey, and that their stomachs and intestines keep getting stronger and ready to take full feeds sooner then later.


This is the cute face of a guy who's been wearing dark shades since day one...


Here's Sully mask free and loving life


one of two very cute babies...

...a glimpse of the future...each one holding a baby for the next couple of years...


So we both held a baby...Sully got mom and the good end of this deal and...






...and poor little Cam got the hairy chest...but come on that is cute. He's holding Dad's thumb





This is Cam with his nasal cannula



It's always great just to watch them move and listen to them talk...

so Ryan Gentles came by to bestow his wisdom to Cam as he got his diaper changed...
