Hi all,
We knew it would happen, but that doesn't make it any easier to hit road bumps. Beatrice has a small heart problem- one of the ducts did not close at birth and as a result she is working too hard to circulate oxygen. The docs are putting her on a medication that may solve the problem. In the event that it doesn't, Bea will have surgery. It isn't open heart surgery, but it is heart surgery nonetheless. We'll know in the next 2-3 days whether this will happen.
She is still on the CPAP and doing ok. Her red blood count is down a bit and she may need a blood transfusion in the next few days. So, a tough day for Team Beatrice (probably tougher on Mommy and Daddy than Bea, who is snoozing away in her isolette). As the docs promised, we have a long road ahead, even with Ms. Bea's valiant efforts.

Dear Team Beatrice,
My name is Megan and Sarah sent me your blog. My twins were born at 25 weeks and spent 9 weeks in the NICU in Hawaii 7 years ago next week. The girls and I will be rooting for little Bea. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
Megan, Seren and Celeste
