The close to our week was a lot better than the beginning. All the babies are doing pretty well. Mattie and Andrew are both on a round of steroids to help their lungs. The goal is to get them off the SIPAP and on to nasal cannula.
Mattie sleeps a lot and is doing well on her oxygen levels. She weighs 3lbs. 15oz. Hopefully, she'll hit 4lbs. tonight.
Adelaide is still inconsistent with bottle feeding. On Friday, she took three bottles throughout the day with no problem, but on Saturday, she struggled. She cries while swallowing, so they're giving her medication to help with reflux and stopped bottle feeding for 24 hours. She weighs 5lbs. 10oz.
Andrew is fluctuating back and forth on his blood oxygen levels. His oxygen intake has gone down since the start of the steroids, but he rides a roller coaster of high blood oxygen levels to low levels. He weighs 4lbs. 2oz.
Praise
Weight gain.
The caregivers of our babies.
Curly eyelashes, sweet blue eyes, and chubby feet.
Prayers
Andrew and Mattie would wean off and stay off the SIPAP for good.
There would be no long term effects from the steroids.
Adelaide's throat would heal, and she would be able to feed from a bottle consistently.
