The girls are 6 weeks old today, wow how time flies! Hopefully time continues to fly until they can come home. Adalyn continues to do well with her feedings, no changes there today. She continues to have quite a few brady alarms off the CPAP, but Dr.B said he is not going to put her back on the CPAP at this point because almost all off the bradys are quick, self resolved and she is not desating. We know that can change quickly depending on which neonatologist sees her. Her weight tonight was 3 lbs 5 oz (1490 grams). Emma still has the OJ and OG tubes and she has not been spitting up much. She has been wretching though at times and occassionally spits up gastric secretions. They went up to 7.5 mL an hour on her feedings today. She continues to have periods on and off where she has a lot of brady & desat alarms, but it seems to be better on the CPAP. Her weight tonight was 3 lbs (1355 grams).
Please pray earnestly for Emma to tolerate her feedings, for her not to be uncomfortable due to hunger or wretching, and for her stomach to grow so she can go back to OG feeds. Please pray that both girls are able to progress appropriately in their feedings. Please pray for guidance for the doctors and nurses so that they do not miss anything. Praise God that Adalyn is tolerating her feedings well. Please continue to pray that God protect both girls from infection and other complications. Thank you again for continuing to pray for our girls!

ReplyDeleteYou don't know me but I ran across your blog through reading another one. Even people from mid-michigan are praying for your family. What beautiful babies you have. I have been keeping them in my prayers and will continue to do so. As our former pastor use to say "God is Good, all the time, God is Good!
