No major changes with Ben since this morning. He's been relatively stable. Unfortunately, we got some not so great news on the girls echos. They both have PDA, or patent ductus arteriosus. Neither one is emergent. Abby is slightly worse than Klara. She will need to have cardiac catheterization to correct it eventually. The drs said it can wait until Ben is better though. And they'll probably just monitor Klara. Hers doesn't seem to need to be corrected at this time. Basically this little valve that usually closes at birth didn't close with them. It's very rarely seen in full term infants. And I have 2 post term kids with it. Just my luck. :/ but like I said, the drs are not worried since neither if them show any symptoms. Oh, in good news, I got to help bathe Ben and change his diapers today. I loved that! I did not love him crying silently about it. But I did like getting to do the normal baby things. That was the best. Now, if I could just get rid of this sinus congestion. I've been really washing hands and wearing a mask. Luckily, I didn't get the flu my sister has. She and my mom are both so sick they haven't been able to visit. I just have congestion. So I've been taking nasalcrom, garlic pills, and zinc lozenges. I'm starting to feel a bit better. So that's good. Hoping for an even better day tomorrow.
