NICU round 2 -- UPDATED--

So I'm back in the NICU with our smallest twin. He stopped breathing in the middle of the night and went completely limp and lost consciousness. Somehow, I don't know what woke me since he hadn't made a sound but I jumped out of bed so fast and scooped him up we had a hard time getting him breathing again and now they think he may have aspirated in fluids when he had his last spell. He's doing well but now I'm terrified to ever close my eyes again. He was on the peds floor but because he is 5 pounds 3 oz they moved him where they have smaller equpiment but since we have been here I have been asked by 7 different doctors and nurses if they are twins. Uummmm nope I just found this second one and decide to drag him along with me everywhere I go. Last nurse said " oh they aren't twins are they? are they six weeks apart?" Uh what does that even mean? Anyhow I just had to vent/rant about being absolutely terrified and then annoyed with the staff here constantly asking how they are twins because of the size difference which is only 1 and a half pounds. I mean if you guys only heard half the things I have been asked. One even said " how do you have two babies that young?" Keep in mind she was fully aware they were brothers. It's been a very long night/day sorry for the rambling on here.
*UPDATE* Colton ended up with fluid in his lungs so he is being watched carefully. He is in a special part of the NICU since he was an "outside baby" and had been out of the hospital before. They are doing an ultrasound on him to see if he has a condition (which they are pretty confident he does) and if so he will be needing a surgery to correct it. He will be going home on an apnea monitor due to the fact of him having more than 5 spells a day and some sort of breathing treatment since his airways narrow down after some of his spells. It's super exhausting and I feel like I can't ever go to sleep but he has a wonderful set of doctors. Thank you everyone for your kind words it means a lot!
