Jace- Jace had another ultrasound yesterday and the results that came back were awesome! The bleeding he had in the left side of his brain is completely gone and the bleeding on the right side has gotten better and better with every ultrasound! The ventricles that looked larger in one ultrasound are now smaller! For this we prasie God! Lost 60 grams and weighs 4lbs 5oz, hopefully he will gain this plus more back tomorrow night =) Both boys lost last night and the nurse said it was probably because they have been trying to bottle feed them both which burns a lot of calories. He is still taking 40 ml of milk with 24 calories of food on a pump for over an hour. They want to wait to increase his feedings to make sure hes going to tolerate them, he still spits up every once in a while so they want to do it slowly. Hes still on oxygen the same 1/4th-1/8th of a liter. Please pray that Jace would continue to gain weight and that his lungs would mature fast so he can come home! He has came so far and is doing SO good, we love him so much! =) Here is a picture of him from today...
Liam- Is still on room air and doing great....He also lost weight 30 grams so now he weighs 5lbs 3oz again...Hes also doing great breast feeding, we breast fed for two feedings today in a row another reason why he might of lost some weight. Liams feeds went up to 46 grams still getting the 24 calories of fortifier on a pump for over an hour also. Liam has come so far also and we are so proud of him too! We pray and ask for prayer also for his lungs to also to continue to mature because that is the main thing keeping him in the hospital he meets all the other requirements of coming home other than that which is a huge one! Here is a picture of Liam from today...
and here are some pictures of both of them together! =)
Mommy and Daddys little monkeys =)
Poor Liam always gets picked on by his older brother
Stella- Is doing great at home! She loved to eat in the hospital when it was going right down her tube and she didnt have to work at it now were not too sure she loves to eat since she has to work at it! lol For the most part she has done great with feeding its just frustrating sometimes when its time for her to eat and she doesnt want to, this last feeding she only drank 20ml and so I waited till the next feeding and she drank 60ml! She loves to cuddle with Mommy and Daddy and is loving her quality time she is getting being the only child =) No specific prayer request for Stella, other than continue to eat well and stay on her schedule so that when we bring her brothers home it will be easier! Here are some recent pictures of her...
going to her first Dr. appt. (she wouldnt stop making faces to get a picture, lol)
