Tuesday, January 5

Hi everyone. Sorry that we're late with the blog. Kevin's been back at work recently and then up at the NICU at night, so it's been tough keeping up.
The babies are still doing ok.They've all seen some improvement over the last few days.

Adelaide is now feeding on 14ml of milk every 4 hours. They doubled her intake. So, she's getting a half ounce each feeding. She's still off of photo therapy, and we've been enjoying watching her open her eyes. She's still doing very well.

Mattie had a lot of mucus in her lungs the last few days, and they've been doing a mist to break it up. The doctors were afraid of infection, but so far no infections have been found in her blood count or cultures. She still gets mad when the nurses do their care, but she's doing better. Her lungs are also still murky, but improved.

Andrew is doing well on the oscillator. His numbers have been holding steady, so they're going to treat him like a normal preemie, which means the frequency of his tests will be less. They feel he's improving enough to be left alone on the every two hour tests.

By the way, we really enjoy seeing who's following along and who is leaving comments. We read them all and love hearing your stories and hearing from people we haven't talked to in awhile.
