Quick update...

Just a quick baby update before I crash for the night...

Annie - gaining weight, almost up to her birth weight.  Will be up to "full feeds" (meaning no IV feeding support) through her nasal tube by tonight.  Remains feisty.  Continues under the bili light for jaundice.  Hates her eye mask, which she must wear whenever the bili light is on, and keeps her momma, daddy and nurses busy putting it back on.  Having fewer "spells" then her brothers (meaning fewer episodes where her heart rate drops and her breathing slows or stops for a brief period). 

Eli - also gaining well, almost up to his birth weight.  Taking full feeds through his nasal tube very well.  Has no IV.  Also remains under the bili light but could care less about his eye mask - or anything else for that matter.  Sleeps, sleeps, sleeps.  Doesn't cry or squawk EVER. We hope this behavior will continue at home!  HA!

Michael - lost weight again last night after a 1 day gain.  Yesterday had a significant increase in "spells."  They drew labs to check for infection and started him on IV antibiotics.  The labs so far are encouraging and he is tolerating the antibiotics.  Has had fewer spells today.  Taking full feeds through his nasal tube.  No longer needs the bili light and we got to dress him in a real onsie this afternoon.  Yea!!! 

OK, this momma is tired.  Off to bed.  Can't imagine how we will do this when they are all home but still can't wait for that day to come!!!
