Lilly and Davis' Story

Lilly Mae and Davis Anthony were born on Sunday, December 4th. They were born at 25 weeks and 5 days of gestation.

Lilly was born first at 9:56PM. She weighed 1 pound and 14 ounces and was 13.25 inches long. Her head was 24 cm in circumference (slightly smaller than a baseball).

Davis was born at 10:07PM... 11 minutes after his sister (something she'll never let him forget). He weighed 1 pound and 13 ounces. He was 13 inches long and had the same size head as his sister.

Both were taken to the NICU directly after delivery and are expected to be there until their original due date, March 12th (that's exactly 100 days in the NICU!)

Please keep these little ones in your thoughts and prayers and hopefully we will get to bring them home sooner!

Day 25 - 12/28/11

Day 25...

Davis in his new monkey outfit.




Lilly did not get her CPAP today... they are waiting for her ventilator settings to go lower before they make the move. She got her 2nd and 3rd dose of steroids today, hopefully that'll help. They also think she may have some fluid in her lungs, so they are giving her a dose of Lasix, a diuretic. Depending on how well the Lasix and steroids work, they may try the CPAP tomorrow.


Davis is doing ok back on the ventilator. He is back on the light settings.


Lilly and Davis both gained another ounce today. So, Lilly is now 2 pounds and 10 ounces and Davis is 2 pounds and 6 ounces.
