Day 13... Today was a good day and a bad day.
The good... both kids gained an ounce! Lilly is now 2 pounds and 3 ounces. Davis finally hit the 2 pound mark!!! Woohoo, both of our little ones are putting on the pounds (well, ounces...)!
Both stopped getting fluids in their arms and will hopefully have their pick lines removed from their arms tomorrow. It'll be nice having less tubes tangled up in their little incubators.
They continue going up on their food. Today they got 15 ml for 4 feedings, then going up to 16 ml. Both are handling the increase in food very well. No leftovers in their little bellies each time they check!
The bad... Davis made it just over 24 hours on his CPAP machine. But, then he needed to go back to a ventilator. I guess his little body still isn't ready for the CPAP. The nurses don't seem to be concerned, so we are trying to stay positive about it. They say he just needs a little more time to grow and get stronger. Hopefully the 3rd time will be the charm (whenever they decide to try again).
We didn't hold either of our kids today :( They said Davis had a stressful day, so probably wasn't a good idea to take him out of his cage. Mommy said she would feel guilty holding one and not the other, so we decided not to hold either. Snuggle time tomorrow will be extra special!
