Russell has been taken off the ventilator. Yay! He also started some little feedings today.
Charlotte has developed a pneumothorax (air collecting in the chest cavity). It doesn't seem to be causing trouble, so they are just waiting to see if it resolves itself. They are holding off starting feedings on her to keep from stressing her more.

(The bright thing over Charlotte is an oxygen hood that is helping treat her pneumothorax.)
