Meet the Cordova Twins

The Cordova Twins:

Jordan (pronounced JOR-den, in Biblical & English derived from (yarad) meaning "descend" or "flow down". It is also the name of the river which flows between the countries of Jordan and Israel where Jesus Christ was baptized by John the Baptist).

Jacob (pronounced JAY-kep, in English and Biblical means "holder of the heel" or "supplanter", and (Ya'aqov'el) meaning "may God protect". In the Old Testament, Jacob (later called Israel) was the son of Isaac and Rebecca and the father of the twelve founders of the twelve tribes of Israel. He was born holding his twin brother Esau's heel)

Jacob & Jordan Update 2-20-10

Family & Friends,

The twins had another good day yesterday; here is the official report for Sat. 2/20/10:

Jacob was 2 lbs. 2 oz during the day, he now is at 2 lbs. 3 oz (yeaaah!), has had 6 wet diapers and 2 dirty diapers for the whole day, received 5 mg. of caffeine at 9 am, is getting 19 CC's of milk from Sheri, no brady or desats reported for the day, and is holding steady at 5% CPAP and 21% Room Air.

Jordan was 2 lbs. 8 oz. during the day, she is now 2 lbs. 9 oz, also holding steady at 5% CPAP 21% Room Air on her CPAP, received 6.8 mg. of caffeine at 9 am, had 8 wet and 3 dirty diapers, 22 CC's of milk, and also had 0 brady episodes and desats for the day.

We were also told that both kids are scheduled to come off of the CPAP and switch back to nasal cannulas on Monday (cross your fingers and hope for the best!). Both babies also had a recent visit from the NICU Optometrist, and currently both sets of eyes are working efficiently. Let's hope their eye color stays blue (one can dream, right?)

I am happy to report the blog Web page which will now capture the twins development from here on out is finished. Please follow the hyperlink http://cordovaandtwins.blogspot.com/ for updates and photos. This took a lot of time to create, but I am happy with the result, and I think it will be easier for everyone to access and follow. I also have attached above the last photo zip sets which should take everyone up to this point.

For those of you getting this email for the first time, I'm sorry I haven't contacted you sooner. But, I have included in the email chain below everything that I could keep straight that has brought us to this point. You may notice a small gap in the chain information, but I have transcribed my notes on the blog page, so please see the post log for details to fill in the blanks. If I have missed anyone in this email transmittal (as I am sure I have given the current circumstances) please forward this progress email and the blog link to them as well.


Thank you for all your prayers and kind sentiments.

Kind regards,


The Cordova Family (Andy, Sheri, Jacob & Jordan)
