Tuesday we had a hearing at CPS where all the follow-up and research that CPS has done came to light. We are now confident that we are the only option that they are looking at for these babies. So they will be in foster care with us for 6 months in which at that time we will start the adoption process. So if all goes well they will be legally ours buy the end of the year.
On another note, today Abby has gone 2 days without "Brady’s" which is where they forget to breath and there heart rate drops and they have to be stimulated to bring the heart rate back up. She needs to go 5 consecutive days and she will be ready to come home. Gavin on the other hand is still very inconsistent on his feedings and still has Brady’s several times a day, so he is probably a good 10 days from coming home. He also is have an issue with his left leg where he does not seem to have much strength in it and it is shorter than the right, so this week has not been fun for him b/c they have done tones of tests, x-rays, sonograms, and a MRI to end today. So all of that to make sure there was not an infection and to confirm what they were seeing on the x-ray which seems to be some degeneration of his femur bone that looks like was caused by the syphilis infection he had in the womb and after he was born. We do not know how they plan on fixing this or if it can be fixed, but they will be referring us to the Scottish Rite hospital to have it fully evaluated and will continue to monitor it until he leaves the hospital. Our prayers continue for these babies that the effects of what happened to them while there were in there mother does not have long term effect on them and that they will have as close to a normal life as possible. We have been very happy with their care and know that we will continue getting them that care after we bring them home.
