moving up in the NICU world

The babies were moved to a spot closer to the door today! Really it was because another baby needed their spot as he / she was being put on a ventilator. I'm so sad for that mom - it's so difficult to see your little one's face one minute, the have to look through tape and tubes the next.

But both babies are doing well. Their feedings are done on pumps right now as David was having trouble oxygenating post feedings and Mary Louise was having trouble digesting hers. This way, the feedings go in over a full 30 minutes and they have 2 and a half hours until the next feeding to digest. It seems to be helping. Mary Louise has not yet tried bottle feeding and when we went to visit today, the doctor had not yet made rounds so that is still up in the air.

Another day of progress!

Love, Heather
