Today the babies are 1 months old!!! Its hard to believe that it has been that long! It feels like it has been 4 days! Today on there birthday they made some more progress!
Jace was at 3.0 liters of oxygen @ 29-32% during the day doing really good! They cut back on his feedings hoping to dry up his lungs a bit and help him get off that oxygen. So he went from 31ml of food to 28ml still with the 24 calorie fortifier. He gained weight today, he is 1508 grams which is 3lbs and 5oz! We didnt get a chance to hold Jace today but I am going to hold him first thing in the morning. We had a CPR class today that we did with Jake, Lori, Jarred and Bre for babies under 1...Rick and I took a CPR class about a year ago and cant remember anything about the babies so it was good that we took it!
Liam was at 1.0 liters of oxygen @ 21-22% the whole day, he is still breathing shallow so not sure if they will try taking the cannula out or leave him on just for the flow that is hitting his nose to help him out a little while longer, but he is doing really well also! They also went down on his feedings for the same reason as Jace. He is also on the 24 calories of fortifier. Liam lost a little bit he is 1606 grams which is 3lbs and 8oz and he got to do skin to skin with Daddy today!
Stella is still on room air doing great, she gained 3oz last night bringing her to 4lbs 3oz! Poor boys need to catch up! Shes still drinking the 37ml of food with the 24 calories of fortifier. Also I forgot to mention in yesterdays post that she was able to get off all her caffeine which is huge! They are all put on that when there born to help them remember to breath, the nurse told me that is another huge milestone! They also have to maintain there body temperature before they can go home so they have been weaning her off of that in her incubator and said within the next couple of days they will probably put her in a crib!
Hope everyone had a wonderful Sunday! Love Sheryl
