I went to visit the babies by myself on Saturday and Sunday. It gave me a small taste of what it will be like dividing my time between the two of them to make sure they both get attention. Should be interesting when I get to do this in real life!
I do have some positive things to share, though.
**Ja.son hit the 5 pound mark on Saturday. He weighs in at 5 pounds 1 oz!
**Sh.awn is now getting a bottle a shift. He still doesn't like it, but he is getting them.
**Ja.son had his feeding tube moved to his nose so he can start sucking in earnest now, too.
**Both are being weened off of the caffeine they've been getting to help them with their breathing. Neither is having apnea or breathing issues. Ja.son's oxygen level continues to decrease.
**I should find out tomorrow when the boys' procedures will be. The new attending doctor finally told the neurosurgeons that they need to either schedule the boys or move them to another hospital. They are working on scheduling them this week.
**Is.aac is finally starting to feel a little better.
Here are some new pictures, too.
Sh.awn
Ja.son
I'm glad your husband is feeling better. How terrible.
ReplyDeleteThe boys look great and it sounds like they are moving right along.
I hope the news is only good when it comes to moving them back to your hospital.
Oh no! Poor Isaac...but at least it happened over a weekend.
ReplyDeleteSuper pictures, and great news on the weights. the bottling, and the caffeine! They are two cute muffins :D Good for the attending neo--sounds like he/she means business, which is great. These guys are such little troopers, and they'll be home before you know it!
Well, except for Isaac that's all really great news. The boys look wonderful and their progress report is so encouraging.
ReplyDeleteSo how did you do splitting yourself between the two of them?
The boys are beautiful. I am so glad that they are gaining weight. Please let us know what happens. BTW- My husband also got the stomach bug last week and couldnt hold the girls. Hope the husband feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteI think Shawn is kissing you and Jason is surely smiling!! Keep well!!
