Good Morning Everyone! The top news today is that the doctor has said Micah will be going home tomorrow afternoon!!! We will have follow up appointments with neurodevelopmental and eye doctors, routine for preemies, and of course with our pediatricians, but he will be out of the hospital!!! Micah is now weighing 2050 g (4 lbs. 8.31 oz.) and eating at least 45 ml at a time.
Leah is still eating fortified breast milk - 40 ml at a time. She needs to be off the fortification for three days and still gaining weight to come home. We were told that would probably be end of this week, beginning of next week. She weighs 1575 g (3 lbs. 7.55 oz.).
Golda is still doing well. She remains on CPAP on room air but has had no episodes of desats over night! I am figuring she will stay on the CPAP for at least today, probably longer, to give her a chance to rest up without dropping her oxygen level, but this is only my guess. She was increased to 2 ml of breast milk over an hour every three hours yesterday and has been handling it well - no residuals, lots of urine, no increase in abdomen circumference. No poopies yet, but we are waiting for that confirmation that all is working as it should be!
That's all for now. I am sure things will get a lot more hectic before they calm down now that Micah will be the only triplet home so please excuse me if I miss an update or if we don't answer the phone! We will be dealing with Harry and Micah at home, Leah at North Shore and Golda at LIJ for a week at least, so we are expecting to be quite exhausted (but it will be so worth it!)! Oh, and I will be speaking to the doctor and mohel today to find out when Micah can have his bris. More details on that when we have them.
