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 3-9-10

Family, Friends, Prayer Warriors,

Another day comes and goes as we draw closer to the twins term date of April 8. For their progress, today was a good day for the both of them with very little issues. The big changes to note for each were:

Jacob - 2 lbs. 13 oz (he lost an oz. from yesterday)
nasal cannula levels were between 21-25% FIO2
his cc's of milk are the same as yesterday, but now are fortified
0 brady episodes
1 desat
he had 5 wet and 5 dirty diapers for the day.

The rest of his stats remained the same from yesterday; 1 liter flow, 1 CC's residuals, 6 mg. daily caffeine, no nose bleeds, no bloody stools.

Jordan maintained her progress as well. Changes to her progress stats included:

- had to go back on CPAP tonight as a result of too many brady cardia episodes (10 total for the day)
- 5% CPAP 21% Room Air
- now 3 lbs. 7 oz.
- 5 wet diapers
- 1 dirty diaper
- 8 mg. caffeine

the rest of her stats remained the same from yesterday; 31 CC's fortified milk, 1 CC residuals.

As I have mentioned previously, the babies will slip back in some areas as they work through their prematurity. Perfectly normal. They will get there; thanks to ours and your love and prayers.

More updates soon!

Kind regards,
