<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It has been a full year since we have blogged about our nuggets and it seems that with the arrival of their 2nd birthday-the blog will be an annual event (We've failed as bloggers....). We just read the post from last year and it is remarkable how much can change in a year. Here are some overall highlights:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">*Both CJ and Keagan graduated from physical and occupational therapy in the fall. That means that they "caught up" to their actual age and the therapists felt they would continue to do well on their own-and they are! They love to climb-up and down stairs, on couches, up slides at the gym. Pretty typical toddler stuff which is awesome! I think they look super funny when they run-they basically pump their arms quickly and power walk but they think they are super fast :) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">*We also "graduated" from having to do follow-ups with our neurosurgeon! We had our final appointment with her in the fall. I believe her words were, "I would love to still see you as patients, selfishly, but there is no longer a medical concern" (She seemed pretty in awe of how well both kids were doing given their history, especially CJ). Keagan also saw her cardiologist in the fall and her PDA in her heart has closed on its own! That means the ONLY medical issue we have lingering out there is that she still has a very small hole in her heart (called an ASD) but it isn't having an adverse impact on her heart function. We will continue to have a yearly check-up with that doctor and if/when it becomes necessary to fix-it will be a fairly routine procedure. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I (Kendra) have been extremely fortunate to get to stay home with the kids since last summer. I just recently had an "ah-ha" moment when I realized why every parent/grandparent wants to brag about their kid and thinks that their child is sooo smart. I think it is because there seems to be something new happening almost everyday in terms of their development. I know that every other toddler learns their ABC's but to hear Keagan sing it one morning when only the day before she wasn't-is just crazy. Or when CJ turns around in the shopping cart and points to the big letter M on the Marianos sign and says "M" and I didn't have any CLUE that he identify letters on his own. So I'm bragging (there will be more-sorry) but you get to see a little person change so much in such a short amount of time! As adults, most of us are settled in what we already know. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Here is a quick update on what is new in the life of:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIiURfMUNZ9gURHHUJFi83bMf9pNStfbDdRYhnsyQX9Msp1LsuHN1n39TczJaEUVhEBLdcZaQeKVsuTSaFTJbBcVWfThVk3FDKhFuJxL3Dg959uDcaNLjlVVBCCuOVCxUFoif5LrXn/s1600/IMG_2243.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIiURfMUNZ9gURHHUJFi83bMf9pNStfbDdRYhnsyQX9Msp1LsuHN1n39TczJaEUVhEBLdcZaQeKVsuTSaFTJbBcVWfThVk3FDKhFuJxL3Dg959uDcaNLjlVVBCCuOVCxUFoif5LrXn/s320/IMG_2243.JPG" width="240" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">CJ</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">He continues to be a "big kid" and weighs over 30 lbs. He still has a lot of the same personality traits that he had a year ago-pretty laid back and sweet. He definitely has hit "toddler status" in the past couple of months as he is very quick to throw things when he is not getting his way. It seems to be getting better as he adds more words to his vocabulary to tell us what is frustrating him (he is in speech therapy once a week but we have a suspicion that he will be graduating from that soon). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">He is very into shapes right now. He even knows what a trapezoid looks like! (Be honest, how many of you know what a trapezoid is...?!!) He is extremely observant, spotting letters and shapes everywhere. He's the second best dancer in the family (Dad is #1 by a long shot); LOVES to snuggle; and has yet to meet a 'chippy' (potato chip) that he doesn't like.</span> </td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Keagan</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">She is still more of a peanut compared to her brother but floats right around the 50th percentile in weight and height. Her feet are small though-she only wears a toddler size 5 shoe...weird because Kendra's feet are quite large :) Very much like CJ-Keagan still has many of the same personality traits that she had a year ago. She is now very verbal - she repeats almost everything we say (from what I've heard-a pretty typical girl). One of her favorite activities right now is singing. It is one of the few things that can calm her down quickly if she is upset or just make her happier if she is already in a good mood! She sings along to most of the songs she knows and in the past couple of weeks, we've heard her trying to sing alone as she plays-it is really adorable. She also LOVES to read and can read along with her favorite books-she has a pretty awesome memory. Her newest "trick" this week is that she is counting by herself and today she said the ABCs all by herself. It makes the teacher in Kendra happy</span> </td></tr>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The babies 1st birthday has been a point of conversation for a few weeks now and we just couldn't quite wrap our minds around the fact that the day was coming. It is absolutely crazy how long ago it seems that the babies were in the NICU and we were going through the craziness of this day a year ago and yet the time has gone so fast (quite cliche-we know).</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It has been a LONG time since we updated the blog (we're sorry), but here are some highlights of the past 3 months:</span><br />
<ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The kids started their physical therapy sessions a couple of months ago and have made good progress. </span></li>
<ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Keagan is now regularly on all fours or rolling around to get what she wants. In the past couple of weeks we've seen a huge change in her temperament. She is a baby that wants everything around her and now she can get to it on her own! It makes her much happier, which makes us much happier...now we don't have to listen to her scream for an adult to get her the toy she wants :) The crawling is coming soon and we think we are going to have to figure out this "baby-proofing" thing pretty quickly. Maybe we should just tether her to her brother...good luck moving 26 pounds kid!!</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">CJ's actions match his personality....relaxed and smooth. CJ reaches for everything, bangs toys together and happily watches his sister do all the moving. But, he has started to put weight (and he has quite a bit of it!!!) on his legs and is quite pleased with himself when he stands with our help and can play with a toy. We think he is getting a little bored and hope that motivates him to start going after some toys...</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Occupational therapy will start in April and the kids will be working more on their sensory play development as well as gross and fine motor skills-should be fun! Our PT tells us there is a lot of overlap between OT and PT at this age so basically we'll just be getting more help which is always welcomed. </span></li>
</ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">CJ had his MRI in January and the initial report was good! We haven't had our neurosurgery follow-up yet, but our doctor said that we could wait to come in to see her until after Keagan's MRI so we could talk about both babies at once. Of course, Keagan's now isn't going to be as easy as we'd like because she has to get general anesthesia due to her heart holes-ugh! That appt. is scheduled for April 19th. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Everything CJ and Keagan do (for the most part) is still right on track with our adjusted age of 8 and a half months. The one thing they seem to be be advanced at is EATING! They are both very good eaters and have started to munch on most big people food that we eat. Last night they enjoyed some quesadillas for dinner and this morning they ate biscuits and gravy with Mommy and Daddy :) It is fun. They also have made the FANTASTIC transition (that every parent loves) from formula to milk-woo hoo!! </span></li>
</ul><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Picture time: we've picked out some of the top ones from the past 3 months-sorry there are so many :) </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

Here it is! A month late BUT the 9 month post is right on time-pretty good, right?!? I need to have a day off school every time CJ and Keagan hit a month milestone.<br />
<br />
I just had to look back at our 7 month blog so I could remember what it was that we were doing two months ago and it is AMAZING how things have changed in such a short time.<br />
<br />
<ul><li>CJ and Keagan are now eating three meals a day! Once we tried cereal again (2 months ago) it went much better and it quickly progressed to adding fruits and veggies. We are making our own baby food (with the help of Grammie and Mamaw)! So far we have tried and enjoyed: sweet potatoes, squash, avocados, broccoli, bananas, apples, peaches, and prunes. We also eat green beans and carrots but we have to be a little sneaky and combine these with other foods. The doctor told us that we can start adding in protein (yogurt, turkey, chicken) but we (Mom and Dad) aren't quite ready yet-this is all happening so fast...so, we'll fill you in with how that goes in the next post.</li>
<li>We were evaluated again by our early intervention team and both kids have now qualified to receive physical and occupational therapy. When they were first evaluated 5 months ago, they didn't need any interventions but they now both a little help for totally different reasons....</li>
<ul><li>Keagan: She is stiff as a board-if you look at her laying on the ground, most of the time it looks like she is in "plank" position (legs stiff-feet lifted a few inches off the ground). The same thing goes for when you pick her up-she is always super rigid. Also, she still has some reflexes of a much younger baby (about 3 months old).</li>
<li>CJ: I call him my "love lump." He is just totally happy laying down or snuggling. He doesn't have much interest in putting weight on his legs or reaching for things. He IS rolling over from tummy to back (but I think he only figured it out because it gets him out of tummy time which he does NOT like). The good news is that the therapists that evaluated him said that he isn't doing a bunch, but what he is doing, he does very well! Apparently, Clayton Eric was a very lazy baby so we are hoping it is more genetic than anything else...only time will tell.</li>
<li>We haven't had any sessions yet with the therapists so it will be interesting to see what they do to help with these issues. We do know that both babies need to get stronger so I keep envisioning them lifting weights :) </li>
</ul><li>We saw a neurosurgeon from Children's Memorial last week to follow-up on our NICU stay. It went well and she said that from the physical exam both kids are pretty much doing what she would want to see them doing at this age-yay! We will be getting an MRI for each baby next month to get a really clear look at their brains. We knew this was coming but it still will be a bit tough...they will do it downtown at Children's and CJ and Keagan will have to be sedated. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers that things go smoothly. </li>

Another month down-seriously...where is the time going?!? CJ and Keagan were 7 months old on Thursday, October 20th! They are continuing to do well and are quite the happy babies! They seem to be hitting the milestones almost exactly on pace with their "adjusted age" (the age based on when they SHOULD have been born). So that means that developmentally, they are 4 months old at the end of the month. Here are some of the fun baby things that we've done this month:<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="margin: 0px;">Six months old-holy smokes!! It is hard to believe. CJ and Keagan have only been HOME for just over 3 months so to realize that they have already been alive for half a year is unbelievable. The past month has been a good one and it seems that with everyday the kids are growing and changing. They have become super alert and will follow us around the room wherever we are. They love to hear us talk and read. And they absolutely think playtime is the best-it is when they are laying on their blanket or playmat on the floor with us that we get the most smiles!</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;">Keagan is done seeing the retinal doctor because her eyes are fully mature! CJ has one more appointment just to make sure that his eyes have reached maturity and then he will be done too. Keagan will be following up with her cardiologist at Children's Memorial next week to check on her open PDA. We're hoping that they will continue to want to wait until she is bigger so they can do the less invasive surgery.</div><div style="margin: 0px;">The fantastic news is that she has been on reflux medicine for the past few weeks and it has made a HUGE difference in her eating so gaining weight is no longer a concern.</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin: 0px;">She has been eating 3.5-4 ounces every few hours and then sleeping 6 hours at night!! We are so thankful for that :) CJ eats 6-7 ounces every few hours and continues to sleep for 6 hours (he should be able to go 8 or more with how much he eats) -I think this might explain why is so much bigger than her...We don't have official 6 month weights until next week but our scale has CJ at almost 16 lbs. and Keagan around 12!! </div><br />

Where gaining weight and eating well comes very easily to her brother-it takes a lot of effort for Keagan. During the day, she eats every 1-2 hours if she is awake. She can only eat about 2 ounces at a time before she wears out. The doctors think this due to her open PDA but we are trying to get her bigger so they can do a less invasive surgery to close it. So lucky for our daughter who is a born snacker-when the girl wants to eat, she gets to eat!<br />

It has been the longest and the shortest four months we have probably ever experienced. It feels like forever since CJ and Keagan were born and we started this blog. Yet, it is hard to believe that it has been four months already...weird :)<br />
<br />
Updates:<br />
<ul><li>CJ and Keagan finally surpassed their due date of June 30th! We had a home health nurse visiting that day so that we could have a weight check...they never would have gotten this big in the womb but it is fun to know that the potential was there.</li>
<ul><li>Keagan: 7 lb 2 oz and 19 1/2 in.</li>
<li>CJ: 9 lb 9 oz and 20 1/2 in. </li>
<ul><li>Can you imagine Kendra carrying over 16 1/2 lbs of babies?!? </li>
</ul></ul><li>The last we blogged, the kids had just recently gotten off of their oxygen and monitors and we are happy to say that they are officially gone for good! </li>
<li>All doctors appointments have gone well and we are happily getting used to having pretty "normal" babies where our main concerns are about poop and spit up :) </li>
<li>Keagan did have to have laser surgery on her right eye last week because her ROP (retinopathy of prematurity) had progressed. It was done right in the office and the doctor said it went well. We'll know more next week but it seems that she is going to be just fine. </li>

The babies did so well on the car ride and slept the whole way. We made it through our first two nights at home and are only slightly exhausted :) I know we promised pictures so I wanted to get those posted today!<br />
<br />
We also wanted to take a moment to share with all of our friends and family that the doctors gave us strict orders this week in regards to going home:<br />
<ol><li>Keagan and CJ are not allowed out in public for 2 months (we'll be going for A LOT of walks)</li>
<li>Visitors are going to be extremely limited-the doctor said 2 people at a time and that might be all in a day. The two primary reasons for this are exposure to germs and energy. The germs are an easy one to understand-they've been in limited contact with the outside world since birth. The energy one is a little different than most full term infants-our kids basically get to be held for a half hour after their bottles and then <u>need</u> to lay down to get 2 hours of uninterrupted sleep. If that doesn't happen, we are risking them burning more energy than they have coming in with calories consumed. With people over-it is hard to make that happen. </li>
</ol>We wish we could visit with and see all of you who have been such huge supporters of our family but for now, we are going to let these kiddos grow a little stronger. We will continue with the blog and post lots of pictures so you can continue to watch these awesome kids grow! Thanks for all your love and support and prayers-we are so lucky to have so many amazing friends and family in our lives!<br />

Keagan will be discharged Thursday morning and we will finally hit the road for the long trek north to Palatine!!! <br />
<br />
Keagan's progress over the last few days has been remarkable and she has joined the ranks of the NICU "graduates."<br />
<br />
Every so often it pays to take a look over your shoulder to see the road you've just traveled and the hurdles you've just crossed. Being born at 25 weeks will not define Keagan or CJ, and it will likely end up just a footnote in their biographies....but it will be a pretty big footnote. <br />
<br />
CJ and Keagan have endured, and overcome, immense challenges. <br />
<br />
The first, and most obvious, they were born extremely premature, 102 days before their "due date." A random Clayton fact: In 102 days the crew of the sailing yacht Groupama 3 could sail AROUND THE WORLD....TWICE.<br />
<br />
<strike></strike>We’ve seen dozens of children come and go from the NICU who were in “worse” shape than CJ and Keagan. Our kids have seemingly avoided the most common causes of concern/medical issues for preemies: serious brain bleeding (CJ's final head scan showed "complete resolution" of his original bleeds and all clots are gone. Keagan's infarction is no longer there!), retina damage/blindness, heart/PDA surgery (Keagan's PDA is still open but still not an issue), gastrointestinal issues and physical deformities (other than the "toaster" heads!!) They will each have their own struggles and the lasting health effects from their battles won't be known for a very long time, but for the most part they’re healthy little kids. <br />
<br />
The reality is that the “odds” were not in CJ and Keagan’s favor 3 months ago. The road they’ve traveled has not been smooth. However, along the way, they’ve battled everything that’s been thrown at them and they are <b>THRIVING</b>. <br />
<br />
We will post an update on Friday with some pictures, but keep us in your thoughts and prayers for a safe trip home!The Hutchinson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01821335070026908084noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696363683608355713.post-20067272635515336252011-05-31T13:06:00.001-05:002011-06-01T05:56:55.150-05:00CJ is out of the NICU!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">This is coming a bit after the fact and those of you who are on Facebook may know this, but the good news to share today is that CJ was released from the NICU on Saturday evening!

We had a pretty uneventful day but did get some good "eyes open" pictures after bath time so, of course, we had to share.<br />
<br />
On Thursday, they were 34 weeks gestational age and we keep hearing that 36 weeks seems to be the "magic number" for going home-we can't wait! CJ is still kicking butt at his bottle feedings and is up to 6 bottles a day! Keagan is trying to keep up and can take 4 bottles a day! The difference between the two is that because CJ is so much bigger, he seems to have the energy to finish most of his, where Keagan peters out after about half. We are very proud of both of them and the doctors tell us that they are right on track.<br />

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">There really isn't a whole lot of news to report but it has been a good couple of weeks of growing and CJ is up to 5 pounds already and Keagan is 3 and a half pounds (yes, for those of you paying attention, CJ gained a pound and Keagan gained a half pound in the same amount of time-he is a TANK). They are continuing to learn how to eat from a bottle. CJ can finish two whole bottles a day and most of a third, while Keagan daintily sips about half of her two bottles a day. This is really the only thing that they need to figure out before getting the all clear to go home. If we refer back to the check-list that was discussed in the very beginning of the blog, you can see that we are close:</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"></div><ul><li>Hold own temperature between 97.4-99.0 (doing it)</li>
<li>No apnea (stop breathing) or bradycardia (severe decrease in heart rate) that requires stimulation 24 hours before they leave (they rarely have "bradys" and don't have apnea-so this we can check this one off the list)</li>
<li>Pass the car seat test-they have to sit in their car seat or car bed for 90 min. without have the above issues (we won't know until the time we're actually getting ready to leave but normally they figure this one out pretty quickly).</li>
<li>Eat 100% (8 feedings a day) from a bottle for 2-3 days (we're working on it :)) </li>
</ul><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">If they were to be competing (which of course they're not-we don't like to compete at things in this family :)) CJ would be winning at eating but Keagan is winning at breathing!! For a kid with "chronic lung disease" she is doing much better than most would expect (and definitely better than her brother).</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Today I am NOT writing about CJ and Keagan, but I am writing about their mommy, whose birthday just so happens to be on May 10<sup>th</sup>. I just wanted to take a couple of minutes of your time and tell you a few things about Kendra and the way she has handled the circumstances of this past few weeks with such grace and maturity. Many of you know these things, but I just want to restate how proud we are as parents.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">When the babies were born unexpectedly, Kendra felt compelled to get into her classroom and get it organized for the teacher that would take her place for the remainder of the year, even though she was still recovering from her own major surgery. She doesn’t walk away from obligations and wanted to finish strong even though everyone would have understood if she had just backed away and left it for someone else to do.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Kendra and Clayton made the decision to get the best possible care for their children by having them remain at St. Francis Hospital in Peoria, even though it meant a more challenging living situation. Kendra has basically lived at the hospital for the past seven weeks, taking occasional breaks at Clayton’s mom’s house to rejuvenate or get a decent night’s sleep. This is just what a mom does when she puts her children’s best interests first.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Being thrown into “extreme” motherhood has suited Kendra well. She has gotten to know the medical terminology, the highs and lows of preemie babies, the day-to-day operations of a NICU and has embraced all of it in order to get her babies home as quickly as possible. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">There are other things, but for now I just want to express our gratitude that so many of you have cared enough to include Kendra, Clayton and the babies in your prayers. We thank you for doing that and today, the request is simple: please join us in wishing a very Happy Birthday to Kendra!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">*Baby updates will be coming soon! There are good things happening with CJ and Keagan, but today is Kendra’s day to be in the spotlight!! <span style="font-family: Wingdings;"></span></div>The Hutchinson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01821335070026908084noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696363683608355713.post-45803278036879245922011-05-08T16:59:00.000-05:002011-05-08T16:59:58.464-05:00Happy Mother's Day!!Here is the link to an article that was featured on the front page of the Woodford Times this week.<br />

</div><div>Tomorrow will be SIX WEEKS since Keagan & CJ's arrival into the world! They have had some more wonderful accomplishments this past week and they continue to amaze everyone with how well they handle the hurdles (must be because Mommy is a track coach and they heard all about hurdles while they were in-utero, during the early part of Mommy's track season) :-)<br />
<br />
</div><div>•Keagan has currently gained over a pound, and is weighing in at a whopping 2 pounds, 10 ounces and CJ is weighing in at 3 pounds, 12 ounces (a gain of a pound and a half since birth)!<br />
<br />
</div><div>•Both CJ and Keagan started on bottle feeding this past week. CJ had a great start. He was able to "take down" 8 ml the first day (1/3 of a bottle), but most of it ended up on his shirt. Keagan "got it" her first try and finished her whole bottle. Day two on the bottle didn't go as smooth, but for "31 week" old children they did fantastic. <br />
<br />
</div><div>•CJ went into an open air crib on Thursday!! No more incubator. It is so much easier to tend to him and so much fun to hear his little noises and realize that he can hear all of us more clearly too! He is maintaining his body temperature just fine. Keagan won't have the opportunity to get out of the incubator until she reaches 1500 grams (3lbs 5 oz.), so she has a little way to go yet.<br />
<br />
We continue to be encouraged every day by these babies and also by your prayers, your comments and emails and kind words. Thank you for your continued support and we are keeping our thoughts and prayers moving in the direction of getting these babies back home by the end of the month if all continues to go as well as it has been.<br />
<br />
Grampa Ken was able to take some fantastic pictures and video this week:<br />

We ended up having it done last week (we're not sure why) and the results were fantastic! The ventricles have decreased in size again. In addition to that, they have taken him off "watch" and they won't be doing a head sonogram again until 34 weeks which is when they scan all preemie babies (so Keagan will get one too). That means that he is most likely out of the woods for the having to have a shunt put in-a huge praise! </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">With that now taken care of, the only medical concern that is still hanging around is Keagan's PDA but she still isn't having any symptoms, so no treatment is being discussed for now.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">More good news:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><ul><li style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Both kids dropped from 3 liters of oxygen (determines the amount of pressure/flow of oxygen into their cannulas) to 2 liters on Friday and then both dropped to 1 liter today!! To put it in perspective, they had been in 3 liters for about two weeks before moving down. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When they hit their 31 week mark on Thursday, Keagan and CJ will begin getting a bottle for one of their feedings. Once they can finish a bottle in a feeding, then they'll add another and so on...this is a big step on our way to going home. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Speaking of which, we got a new doctor yesterday and she'll be with us for the next 5 weeks. One of our primary nurses, Laura, asked her if we'd be going home while on her watch. Her response was if everything keeps going as it is, that it is a very good possibility!! That is the last week of May :) I'm trying not to get to get my hopes up but it is fun to even be talking about it. </span></li>
</ul></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As you'll see in the pics for this week, we are out and having fun! Mommy and Daddy are allowed to hold us now pretty much when they want, so we get out of our incubators often!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'll start with some great news that we received on Monday. CJ had a follow-up head sonogram to check the size of the ventricles in his brain. It came back that they have decreased in size which means the fluid in his brain is not building up (so the clot that was plugging things up is most likely starting to dissolve). They will do another scan a week from this coming Monday but this was a big step in the right direction!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">Both kids had to have chest echos done this week to check their PDA's. It has re-opened for both of them (not uncommon in preemies) but neither is showing any distress because of it, which is good. The doctors will continue to monitor them and if they continue to do fine on their own, then nothing will have to be done. If they start to struggle, then we'll have to talk about doing surgery again. The goal is for them to make it to 36 weeks, which is when most infants' PDAs close (for good) on their own. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><br />

<div>As you might have noticed, we are not posting nearly as often as we were at the beginning. The reason behind that is 1) I am lazy (or busy doing other things as I like to think of it) and 2) everyone else has gone home :) No the REAL reason is a very good one! The twins are now in the category here of "feeders and growers!" So basically, they just need to eat and get big and then get the heck out of dodge. Hopefully, that means lots more "boring" days where we don't have a bunch to report. But, we will continue to update you on our boring babies as often as we can because we know there are a bunch of you out there that care so much and we are soooo lucky to have you!!! </div>The Hutchinson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01821335070026908084noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696363683608355713.post-84123671936535863042011-04-08T14:21:00.000-05:002011-04-08T14:21:35.113-05:00Together Again!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

We have realized that it is really difficult for people to picture the physical arrangements here in Peoria at St. Francis Hospital, so thought we could help you to visualize where Kendra, Clayton, Keagan and CJ are spending their time! The NICU is divided into neighborhoods, which are basically the different areas within the NICU. Each baby has their own private room. The first two weeks Keagan and CJ were in different "neighborhoods" in the NICU. Last weekend, a room next door to Keagan's opened up and they were able to move CJ into a big, beautiful, corner room with a window! It makes such a difference to be able to see the outside world!

Those eyes are beautiful and opening more and more! He is doing well with just his little nasal cannula and is enjoying the time he gets kangarooing with Mommy! The doctors and nurses are keeping a close eye on his head circumference and his bilirubin levels, but the doctor had good reports this morning. He is tolerating his tube feedings very well, but Mommy did experience the first baby puking on her last evening :-) All-in-all he is stable and gaining weight (up to 2 pounds, 7 ounces!)<br />

Keagan-She is a beautiful little peanut! She is almost pushing 2 pounds! Her fluid retention has greatly subsided, so it is a good weight gain, not just fluid. She is still on the CPAP breathing apparatus and doing well with her oxygenation level. Her nurses are having fun finding some little outfits to dress her up in now that she isn't having to be "naked" under the bili lights. There is a "lending closet" for some preemie clothes so the parents don't have to go out and buy preemie clothes. She has a couple of darling outfits with little ruffles on the tushy, that are enormous on her, but make her look like a little doll. She is also enjoying the fairly new kangaroo holding with Mommy - it relaxes her (and Mommy).<br />
<br />
So, that about wraps it up for now. Hope you are all well and enjoying some spring-like weather, wherever you may be. As always, thanks for the prayers for CJ and Keagan and their mommy and daddy too. It is so helpful in getting everyone through these days, knowing there is such a wonderful support system out there cheering them on from the sidelines!!The Hutchinson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01821335070026908084noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696363683608355713.post-77332348306106909842011-04-04T17:23:00.000-05:002011-04-04T17:23:37.125-05:00MaMaw's Thanks<div class="ReadMsgBody" id="mpf0_readMsgBodyContainer" onclick="return Control.invoke('MessagePartBody','_onBodyClick',event);"><div class="SandboxScopeClass ExternalClass" id="mpf0_MsgContainer">Hi-it's Mamaw (Clayton Eric's mom),<br />

I am more a talker than a blogger (as Verizon Wireless can attest), but my lovely daughter-in-law has finally convinced me to add to the blog. So, for my addition, I would like to write a personal note. We have been truly blessed with the addition of C.J. and Keagan to our families. They have made such a loving and inspiring impact on our lives in such a short time. They continue to amaze us with their developments.<br />
<br />

.ExternalClass {font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;}
</style><br />
Now, on to the personal note.... I would like to thank all our families and friends for the out pouring of love and caring you continue to give us on a daily basis. You build up our strength with your thoughts and prayers, and your kind deeds touch our hearts. Life in the NICU is compared to a roller coaster, with many ups and downs. We are treasuring every moment of this period in our lives, relishing the "ups" and weathering the "downs". But with the support of you all, and the superb care from the OSF NICU staff and doctors, we believe C.J. and Keagan will continue to do astounding things!<br />
<br />
We had some good picture ops today, so here you go :)<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's been an eventful day at the hospital! Miss Keagan is catching up to her brother with milestones. She got her breathing tube out today and now she's on the CPAP machine (basically breathing on her own)!! She looks like a 2 pound sumo wrestler today, she is very swollen because her PDA has closed and her blood is essentially flowing in a new direction - which is VERY good, this is what the surgery would have done but she did naturally. <strong><em>GO KEAGAN! </em></strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had a lot of requests for pictures to be taken while I was here. Unfortunately, I only got a few shots of the princess during her coming off the ventilator. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mr. Man CJ is doing awesome!! He's eating like a champ, when I say eating, I mean getting milk put into his tummy through a tube. Either way, every 3 hours he's sucking down milk like it's his job! It was so awesome to get to hear his little "cry" today. It's weird being around babies and not hearing cries (they can't when tubes are in their throats)! He likes to just whimper every now and then, it sounds more like a whiny puppy, but I still like it. Here are some updated pictures of the little man: </span><br />
