Hi All! Visiting the babies yesterday was nice. I really missed seeing them on Sunday, but it was definitely a needed reprieve. Golda slept most of the time we were there, but held my finger while she did. She was doing well and still is today. She is still on her CPAP, breathing room air, and her vital signs are all stable. The blood culture is listed as "preliminary negative" and we are hoping when they round today she will come off the antibiotics. While Golda isn't eating anything, she is still getting plenty of fluids and the nurse says she is "peeing up a storm" which is very good - and tells us her kidneys are indeed fine! She weighs 1081 g (2 lbs. 6.13 oz.) today.
I got to kangaroo Leah yesterday. She snuggled right in and went fast asleep. It was such a nice feeling to just hold her for that half hour and feel her resting on me. When we got there, she had yanked her oxygen cannula out and it was blowing nicely on her chin! I put it back in and she reached right over and tried to yank it back out! The nurses say she has been doing that often. This morning she took her 20 ml of fortified breast milk from a bottle! Her nurse decided to see what she would do with it and she apparently has figured out exactly what to do with it - drink it all down! Her oxygen was decreased from 0.04 L to 0.03 L. She weighs 1420 g (3 lbs. 2.08 oz.).
Micah is still trucking along. Daddy fed him yesterday and he ate all of his bottle. When I finished my half hour with Leah I took him from Daddy and snuggled my little guy for a bit. He was fast asleep with a look on his face that reminded us both of his big brother when he was a baby. Micah is now up to 29 ml of fortified breast milk, still alternating between NG and bottle feeds. He is weighing 1885 g (4 lbs. 2.49 oz.).
Okay. I need to go spend some time with Harry now! More details on the triplets tomorrow.
