Emma with all her CPAP off while they cleaned off her pretty face
Grandma Pammy giving Adalyn a little love
Today Abi and I spent the whole day at the hospital with Adalyn and Emma. I was able to hold Emma for the first time since last Monday. Abi was a little greedy today and held both girls for 2 hours!(That's 4 hours of pure cuddle time!) While I was getting Emma positioned on my chest her CPAP fell off but she was doing so good they let her take a break from it for the 2 hours that I held her. She did Awesome! Emma's recovery is going really well and they restarted her feedings at 3 ml every 3 hours for 2 feedings and then bumped her up to 6 ml every 3 hours which is where she was before surgery. What an answer to our prayers! She has been tolerating them pretty well, but is still spitting up at times and having occassional residuals. Please pray that Emma will tolerate her feedings so that they are able to continue advancing them. Emma weighed in tonight at 2lbs 4oz (1010 grams). Adalyn has had a good day today as well. She continues to do well on CPAP and her feedings were advanced this morning to 16 ml every 3 hours. Just like her sister she spits ups every once in a while and also has occassional residuals. Please pray that she continues to tolerate her feedings so that they are able to remove her PICC line in the next few days. Adalyn weighed in tonight at 2lbs 4oz (1040 grams). Please pray that GOD continues to protect both girls from NEC and infections. Please also pray that He continues to help them grow and develope as He has so faithfully done in the past 3 weeks. Join us in thanking GOD for His many blessings that He has given us and the girls! Please also pray for Abi as she continues to recover and learns how to cope with being away from the girls as well as the many ups and downs we are experiencing.
GOD is in control!
