Day 28: Not so alarming

Adalyn wide awake and looking very pretty after her bath.

The girls had a good day again today. Both girls conitue to be on a CPAP of 5 on room air & Dr. D said to plan on them being on CPAP another week or to. Over the past 24 hours both girls have had fewer brady alarms. All of them were self resolved and many of them were related to CPAP care or spitting up. I got to give Adalyn a bath today. She did not complain near as much as her sister. She was wide awake the whole time and actually looked rather scared...sorry honey :) Adalyn's feedings are the same and she is tolerating them well. Her residuals have been small and she has not spit up for over 24 hours. Adalyn weighed in at 2lbs 8oz (1120 grams). That weight was with her CPAP on and lately they have been weighing the girls without it, so her true weight it probably closer to 2lbs 7oz. Emma's feedings were increased to 10 ml every 3 hours. She has been spitting up every once in a while and has been having some residuals, but at this point nothing they are concerned about. Emma weighed in at 2lbs 8oz (1120 grams) as well, her weight was also with CPAP on.

Lord Jesus,
I come to you praising you for the good day you blessed Adalyn and Emma with. Thank you that they had a decrease in their number of alarms. Lord please help Adalyn and Emma to tolerate their feedings so that they continue to gain weight. Lord please help the girls to continue to grow stronger and to develop appropriately. Father I ask that you continue to protect Adalyn and Emma from infection. Thank you for holding them in your hands and for watching over them and protecting them. Continue to be with Dave & I as we cope with having the girls in the NICU. Thank you for being in control and giving us peace. Continue to help us find balance and to help us grow as a couple and as a family through this experience.
In your awesome name I pray,
Amen!
