The boys are 1 week and 1 day old. Hardly seems possible that a whole week has gone by.
Chase
Chase is down to just a nasal cannula which does not give oxygen but forces air so his lungs have positive pressure. He is getting 13 cc's of milk every couple of hours (he started at 1 cc on Thursday). He had to have a caffeine treatment today because he had a couple of "spells" where his breathing and heart rate both slow down. He is as handsome as ever!
Cole
Cole is also using the nasal cannula for the same reason. Both of them are breathing on their own and their oxygen levels have been fantastic. He is getting 9 cc's of milk every couple of hours (he started at 1/2 cc Thursday). Cole is absolutely amazing. He's so tiny, but so strong. He takes tiny steps each day in the right direction. He still needs all of those prayers everyone has been saying though!
Harper
Harper says that his baby brothers are not in my belly anymore. He does not quite understand where they are but he knows that Mommy and Daddy go to the doctor each day to see his baby brothers. He's going to be an amazing big brother.
Really good news. Keep on, keep on! (And that link isn't working. And do you know how to make a hotlink, where the url - the web address - is hidden, and you just have to hit a highlighted word? I can show you, if you like.)
