Alexander and Isabel are doing well today. They both had been on photo therapy and are now doing fine without the light. Alexander is breathing with a nasal cannula only. In fact, he typically pulls it off his face and is still able to breath well. He has had trouble digesting milk lately, but they have restarted his feedings. Isabel is a little behind her brother today. She continues on SiPap and her feedings are stopped. They want to give her bowels a chance to rest. Not to worry though, they both had their TPN (IV nutrition) increased to meet their growing needs. Isabel is still ahead of the game for her gestational age, she is just a step behind Alexander.
We have been collecting video of the babies today and last night. I will see if Greg can help me post a video this weekend. I am doing well and will actually be leaving the hospital in the next few hours. I am not sure how we will react to being away from them, I know they are in great hands, just wish they were in mine ;) Please continue to pray for Alexander and Isabel as they develop into healthy babies!
Love, Susan

Looking forward to the pictures and videos. Glad to hear all is well. They'll be going home with you before you know it. Plus this will give Greg extra time to finish everything at the house. Also, could you post some pictures of Greg. I'm curious to see how he is developing.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad they are making progress! We are still praying for them. Looking forward to the videos.
ReplyDeleteThey are doing great - and so are you! Remember, they just need nutrients regardless of how they get them. They surely aren't supposed to be having to digest anything at this point, so for Alexander to be doing it at all is great. Before you know it, this will all be a short memory and you will have those sweet babies in your own hands. Love you!
ReplyDeleteKeeping your little girl and boy in our prayers, and thinking of the new mommy and daddy. Many folks are thinking of all of you. Love, Chris
