Today was kind of a crazy day. After a morning of dealing with my whining girls, I went in to spend some time with the "3 Muskateers." Here is the daily update.
Aiden had no big changes today. They have increased his feeds to 27 mL. So hopefully he will keep chunking up. He is liking sucking on his binkie, but not as much as Collin. Last night they do the weekly measurements. He weighed 3 lbs. 2 oz. and was 16 1/4" long.
Brock was pretty good today. I guess last night his oxygen kept dropping and then they checked his hematacrit (sorry for the spelling) level and it was really low. (that is his blood level) So last night they did a blood transfusion of 12 mL and another one this afternoon of 12 mL. Hopefully that will help him start to get on top of things. They decreased his feeds to 3 mL, hardly anything, but hopefully it will increase tomorrow. He is just starting to get the hang of the binkie thing. He did pretty good with it today though. His weekly weigh in was good though. He is gaining weight, that is the best part. He weighed 2 lbs. 12 oz. and was 14 1/2" long.
Collin continues to good also. He had no major changes. They increased his feeds to 25 mL. He is gaining on Aiden in the weight category. He weighed in last night at 3 lbs. even and was 15" long. He really likes to suck on his binkie, so hopefully he will do good when they start trying bottle feeds in the next couple of weeks.
This was my favorite picture of the day. Brock with his binkie.
