The babies are slowly making progress which we are very grateful for! Here is a quick update of them:
Jace was at 5.0 liters when we walked in at 25% oxygen, they had him weaned to 4.0 by the end of the day when we left, I called tonight and he was at 4.0 but at 30-38% oxygen. He is at 30ml of food with 24 calories of fortifier, they went down on that because he wasnt liking the extra calories, actually none of the babies did, they had a much better day on the 24 calories. Jace stayed the same weighing 3lbs 7oz. Dad did skin to skin today with both boys...
Liam was at 2.0 liters of oxygen at 23%, he's eating 32ml of food and they put him back to 24 calories too. He had fun while Daddy held him and he didnt even spit up this time! =) Liam is still 3lbs 10oz he also stayed the same.
Stella is still on room air, I got to hold Stella today, we practiced some breast feeding, and got to hang out for a long time...shes 4lbs 6oz she gained 85grams. Shes still eating 37ml of breast milk and getting the 24 calories also...They tried feeding Stella a bottle and she drank her WHOLE feeding! They said she did awesome and that they usually give them 30 minutes to finish it and she did it in 20! =)
The babies graduated to the other side of the NICU tonight also, Stella is for sure ready to be there and the boys are probably in between since there still on oxygen but they got transferred to a room with only 3 beds so we have the room all to ourselves and we only have one nurse now for all three babies, we used to have one for 2 and a different one for Stella and another baby...so it will be interesting to see how that is tomorrow, they didnt change them till we left...
