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 26 - 12/29/11

Day 26...

Finally some good news... Lilly went to the CPAP at 8:00 in the morning and she is doing great. She is on lower settings and she's handling it very well. Davis is doing well on his ventilator. He too is on low settings. It'll be a couple days before they start to talk about moving him back to a CPAP.

Lilly lost a few ounces yesterday, but that was to be expected. The Lasix they gave her yesterday is a diuretic, and they expected her to lose water weight. She also had a couple days of big weight gain, so losing a little is not a surprise. Her lungs sound really good, so looks like the Lasix worked. She weighs 2 pounds and 6 ounces. Davis lost a few grams and now weighs 2 pounds and 4 ounces.

Both kids also graduated to the next size up in diapers! Doesn't really sound like a big deal, but means our little ones are growing up!

They are keeping their feedings the same.
