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 2-5-10

2-5-10:

Jacob - little concern with intestines, feedings were stopped (known as "bowel rest) while blood tests and x-rays run. Test results came back negative. X-ray also showed slight clot in feeding tube, changed out for new one. Feedings resumed at 10 CC's milk. nutritional IV still being given caffeine and vitamin A. 3 stools, 7 wet diapers for total day. no problems with pic line. lipids turned off during day due to high levels of triglecerides, but turned on again in evening. Caffeine IV was switched from being fed by IV to feeding tube. Still receiving vitamin A injections. 2 brady episodes for whole day. lipids turned off during day, turned on in evening. 1 lb. 12 oz. (day), 1 lb. 13 oz. (night) Brain scan performed 2-4-10 at two weeks old to test for brain bleeds or other abnormailities, clear.

Jordan - 13 CC's milk whole day, IV switched from left foot to left hand (note: once that vein gave out, we were told her progress had brought her far enough to not need the nutritional IV anymore. Sheri kept the last IV as a momento of her progress :)), and nutritional IV was removed that evening. 4 stools, 6 wet diapers for day. very small residuals for whole day, processing increase in feeds very well. Brain scan performed 2-4-10 also clear. 5% CPAP 25% Room Air.
