I'll update again with what I can while keeping the private things private.
For those that are the praying type, I'd appreciate them now. I know miracles can and do happen.

They're in well-charted territory. It seems insane - and it is - but there's a great chance things will go well.
I'm on sick-kid duty today (just sniffles) with our 6yo. She was 25wk and 410g. Four months in the NICU, another few on O2 and more or less things are awesome now! She has a few minor sensory issues, has high BP and she'll always be small, but she's a fearless little punk terrorizing the skate park and the gymnastics mat.
Make sure everyone takes advantage of what's offered. It's easy to pass up but trust me, they need it. Our state did awesome early intervention therapy - we had weekly visits from every kind of therapist up to 3yo. Free of charge, even in New Mexico which is usually bouncing on the bottom of the "50-best" lists.
