Not Much New to Tell


We had a lot of running around this past weekend and yet really didn't accomplish much. So, this was another lost weekend for the Castellanos in that regard. Still, we continue enjoying traveling around in the new minivan and giving the girls as many "field trip" experiences as we can (even if it is just going to Costco or Hy-Vee).


There still hasn't been much fallout from Gwen's sleep study results... We're basically just waiting for the MRI in September before we get further direction. Between then and now, she'll remain on her typical bedtime regimen of a blood-oxygen percentage monitor with oxygen administered if she needs it. Honestly, we still haven't had a situation that required supplemental oxygen since the doctor told us to discontinue it from constantly flowing overnight back in May. The one new addition for Gwendolyn is a misting medication that is suppose to help clear her nasal passages prior to bedtime.

Braelyn is standing and taking awkward steps with Mom's assistance but she still isn't a crawler. When she sees something she needs, she just rolls right over to it.

Both of the girls continue to do well with their food. Braelyn is eating like a champ while Gwen's getting better and better at chewing (or should we say gumming) her food every day.

  1. Hey kiddos - I'm glad that you finally got some feedback from the sleep study and the news about the trach is terrific! I'm just gonna keep on praying about the rest of the news/tests. September seems so far away but we know how quickly the next couple of months will go!

    The pics of the girls are so sweet! I can't wait to see them again. We really need to get together soon!!!

    Miss you guys and kiss those girls for us!
    Erin, Joe and Matthew
