As of 9/14

Jack had to get a blood transfusion last night. It's apparently a standard thing among preemies-- they don't make blood quick enough to replace the blood cells that die, so they tend to need the transfusions. Apparently he took to it well, and his gas saturations (how well he absorbs oxygen, etc) are good. Also, he's still taking his food really well. He's left nothing from the last two feedings they gave him, which is wonderful. He's up to 2 pounds, 6.5 ounces. Hopefully soon he will be a fat baby. :-D

Sonnet is going for a checkup today, to check on her blood pressure and see that it has gotten back down to normal. Wish her luck for holding back her temper from the doctors!
