Wyatt and Cameron meet their grandparents!

Today, the Tiny But Mighty met their grandma and grandpa. Wyatt and Cameron showed them their new room, how they make their monitors beep at each other, and how good they are at making poopie diapers.

Wyatt forced the issue of getting himself out of "Room 1". Room 1 is a big open room with lots of babies and lots of people walking through. Since Wyatt needs isolation due to his CRE, they moved him to "Room 2" which has a bunch of smaller rooms with doors that can close him off from anyone else.
Luckily, the bug is not airborne and so his brother is allowed to come with him. They have a room that's large and can accommodate the both of them and their nurses. So now they're next to each other instead of across the room from each other so it's easier for us to talk to them both.
Wyatt got himself off The Jet today. His lung secretions have improved from "creamed corn" to just cloudy so the antibiotics are working. I can't remember if I updated that he'd gone back on The Jet, but it was expected as his pneumonia began to break up. Kind of like when you get a chest cold. You have a dry cough but then as you get better, your cough sounds wet and nasty as you hack things up. Wyatt is similar only he can't cough.
His labs look great and he's doing great. If he remains stable, we may finally, FINALLY get to hold him this weekend!

Cameron, the poor guy, has to get a lumbar puncture. This is the second time his PICC line grew out a germ so, while they think it may be a contaminate, they've realized these guys like to push the odds and so they're making sure Cameron is okay. I hate, hate, hate that he has to get a lumbar puncture. I quizzed the nurse practitioner pretty good about the whys and what-ifs. I'm tired of my babies getting poked, I guess. But it's all to make sure they can grow into healthy little boys.

So everyone is doing good. Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers. It means so much to us. These little warriors use them for fuel!
