Day 45: Photo shoot

Today Emma & Adalyn had their big photo shoot. The NICU is doing a campaign to promote kangaroo care. So this afternoon a photographer took pictures of the twinners snuggling with Dave & I. They looked beautiful :)

Both girls had a good day. Adalyn had a few more alarms today than she has the past couple days. So Dave & I are wondering if they will put her back on CPAP tomorrow. Her feedings are at 10 mL an hour and she is tolerating them well. She is showing signs that she is having some reflux, but not as much as Emma. Her weight tonight was 3 lbs 5 oz (1510 grams). Emma has been having some alarms, but they seem to be getting better. She is still refluxing a lot so they still have her on OJ feeds with the OG tube to chimney. Her weight tonight was 2 lbs 15 oz (1340 grams) so she lost again. She still is at 8.5 mL an hour which is still under her goal which again is likely why she lost weight.

Please pray that God heal both of the girls' reflux. Pray that they tolerate their feeds and have fewer and fewer alarms each day. Continue to pray for their growth, development and that God protect them from infection.

  1. Dave & Abi - Thanks so much for speaking in church this morning -- you did great! :) I know how the nerves can be when you are up there!

    Just caught up on what's been going on & will be praying for you and your family over these holidays... especially that the girls will gain weight & grow stronger!

    Blessings!
