***Today I walked in and the nurse tells me, "notice anything different?" and I look at Stella and she has NO feeding tube in her nose! They took it out and were just going to bottle feed her every time whatever she would take, they werent putting a limit on her food like before when she had to eat so much. So if she can get the bottle feeding down she will come home within the next week or so!
Jace- Is down to 1/4 of oxygen @21% hes getting there slowly but surely! =) Hes still at 38ml of food 24 calories of fortifier and they changed his food from being on a pump for an hour and a half down to one hour, so hes making progress there also! He gained last night 45 grams so now he weighs 4lbs 2oz! We also tried breast feeding today with Jace for the first time! He did really good for his first time, wasnt quite sure what was going on though, it was so cute! lol
Liam- He is still on room air and drinking 42ml of milk and 24 calories of fortifier. He breast fed like a champ again today! He also gained 65 grams so now he weighs 4lbs 13oz!
Stella- Lost weight today for the first time in weeks! With getting the feeding tube out she drank what she wanted to drink from the bottle at every feeding. Her first feeding of the day she drank the whole 50ml then he next was 40ml, and then 25ml, Dad came and fed her and she drank about 40ml again...she also tried breast feeding but I think she was so tired from taking the bottle the whole day she didnt want anything to do with it, she worked so hard today she lost 7grams and still weighs 5lbs 11oz. So we will see if she can leave the tube out and keep drinking from the bottle or if she just gets too tired and still needs it for a little while longer? I called tonight to see how the babies were doing and the nurse was feeding her again and all I could hear was grunting and moaning, she sounded like she was really annoyed! lol She is so funny!
