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 3-27-10

Family, Friends, Prayer Warriors,

We had a slight change of scenery for Jacob today. Because of some routine X-rays both he and Jordan had this week, his routine MRI, immunizations, low hematacrit levels, adjusting to sleeping in a crib, etc., Jacob had to be moved to a open warmer bed for a while. However, after he received a blood transfusion, and good results from his x ray and blood work, he is back on the right progression track. A slight hiccup for him, but he is doing much better.


Jacob's official report for the day:
3 lbs. 12 oz.
4 brady episodes
0 desats
28% FIO2 on the nasal cannula, with 1 liter flow
33 CC's of 24 calorie fortified milk
4 dirty diaper
5 wet diapers
0 CC's residuals

Jordan continues to excel despite her PDA and stenosis issues. And even though Jacob is temporarily not sharing the crib with her and she can stretch out, she better not get too used to it, because her brother will be back there before we know it ;).

Jordan's official report:
4 lbs. 3 oz
21% Room Air, with .5 Liter flow nasal cannula
35 CC's fortified milk
1 dirty diaper
4 wet diapers
0 brady episodes
1 desat
1 CC residuals
daily dose Lasix diuretics
4 times a day of Potassium

Sheri captured a great photo op Friday with the babies...Look!

And I caught a photo op with Jordan this afternoon in a vibrating bouncy; it really works wonders when she gets gassy and and starts bearing down. How cute!

























And, we have another great addition to our Dream Team! Natalie has worked with the twins in the early days and has joined the Cordova Primary's! We are so excited she will be helping us out!




















More as it develops! Thank you for all of your love, prayers and thoughts! More progress reports soon!


Kind regards,
