The babies had their eye exams today and everything went well. A big surprise to us was that Andrew handled the procedure very well, and Adelaide didn't. Her blood oxygen levels dropped, but she recovered. The results were what they expected to see with preemies, and all three had the same results. So, it was good. They'll be re-checked in two weeks.
Adelaide is doing so great on bottle feeding that they're moving her to twice a day. She took 32cc today, and Tara will be taught to bottle feed her on Friday. Adelaide is now 3lbs. 10oz.!
Mattie is still doing very well. She's taking about 28-30 percent oxygen, which is great. She's gained 1 ounce and is 2lbs. 7oz.
Andrew is still on the conventional ventilator and doing good. He's at 45-50 percent oxygen and spent most of the day sleeping after the procedure. He's 2lbs. 13oz.
Praise
Good report on the eye exams.
Adelaide trying two bottles a day.
Andrew doing so well during eye exam.
Mattie's less agitated.
Prayer
Andrew's need for oxygen would decrease. If he can be consistently in the upper 30's, he could be moved to SIPAP.
Protection over their lungs and body parts from the medications and oxygen.
Continued weight gain and growth.
