Day 7 was another great day. Davis came off his ventilator and went to the CPAP. He is struggling a little with it, but hopefully he does ok. Both babies will also get a drug similar to caffeine to help them breathe more steadily. They would normally give caffeine, but for some reason the hospital has run out… I’ve offered to bring 2 liters of Mountain Dew, but apparently it is a different form of caffeine.
Lilly got to snuggle with mom again today for an hour. Davis got to snuggle with dad, but he didn’t do so well. So, it only lasted for 45 minutes. They said to not take it personal and that it was most likely due to him just getting on the CPAP (I’ll try not to take it personal, but will keep this in my back pocket to hold over him when he's older… Dad, can I borrow the car to go out on a date tonight? My response: Remember that time daddy wanted to hold you and you made your heart rate drop, you stopped breathing a few times and your oxygen saturation went way down… no way you can borrow the car, now go up to your room and think about how you made daddy feel...haha).
Granny visited the hospital with us today. She didn't get to hold the babies during the snuggle time, but she did get to talk to them and take a few pictures.
