Well it was another positive day for the twins. Alexander is up to 4 oz daily of milk. He gets small feedings every 3 hours since his tummy is so small. They have actually graduated to putting him on pump instead of feeding through a syringe by gravity. The other good news is that he is close to meeting his calorie needs with these feedings alone. That means he will be able to remove the IV line in his hand. He also is close to being able to breath without the nasal cannula at all! Isabel is not far behind him. She is getting 2 oz of milk daily and they are also weaning her from the nasal cannula. So far no real setback since Isabel started tolerating her feedings. Please continue to pray that they do well.
Oh! Alexander smiled today. I don't care what anyone says.... it is not gas!! At any rate, it made Greg and I laugh.
I am doing much better. Every day I seem to feel a little more like myself and the pain is improving. Greg is also doing well. This entire experience has provided us with a whole new perspective. Life is Good!
