Friends, Family, Prayer Warriors:
I apologize for it being so long since I have put an update for ya'll. Sheri and I can never thank enough all of our prayer warriors, friends, family, of us, our children's progress and those who read the blog on a daily basis. Since Jacob's arrival at home, it has been run run run nonstop, with everyone trying to juggle his feeds, visit Jordan at the hospital, work, breathe, sleep, a million things flying around at once.
To make things more difficult, I have a bunch of backlogged information to release on here, but there just are not enough hours in the day to get to it all right now. And once Jordan comes home (which to date should be this Monday), it will be even harder to post on here all the information that our little ones (and us) are going through and making.
The best thing that I can tell you is, for all of our difficulties, time constraints, etc... Jacob is doing fine. He weighs 5 lbs 9 oz. at his last doctor visit, has his days and nights mixed up, and takes about 2 to 3 oz. per feeding right now. Otherwise, he is a healthy growing baby boy.
Jordan will be coming home with the G tube (feeding tube) in her stomach and on a apnea monitor at night. Recently she had a bunch of brady cardia episodes, which prompted the doctors and nurse staff to require she be on it especially at night. I'm supposed to find out the inner workings of this device upon my weekend stay, in addition to learning how to work the pump, insert and remove the feeding tube which for the moment will be how we feed her. Although the excessive brady cardia episodes can somewhat be chalked up to feeding and constipation (she went for 5 days without a poop before the doctors' agreed to giving her a suppository, at which point she filled three diapers full when she finally got one). Part of this weekend will hopefully give us a better understanding on what is causing those episodes; it seems like she was brady free prior to the feeding tube insertion. Sheri and I will have to do some deep probing to determine what exactly is going on with that. At last weigh in, Jordan weighed 5 lbs. 6 oz.
That's the best I can tell you right now, especially with Jordan, things change on a hour-to-hour basis.
Please continue to pray for the growth, stability and improvement for our babies (not to mention the continued stabilization and growth of mine, Sheri's and everyone else who is helping us out's sanity). May the good Lord bless and protect us all.
More as it develops! Thank you for all of your love, prayers and thoughts! More progress reports as soon as I can spare another minute!
Kind regards,
The Cordova Family (Andy, Sheri, Jacob & Jordan)
