Day 64: 9 weeks old

The girls are doing well. Emma has done well off the high flow. There has been an increase in her number of alarms, but nothing more than she had had on the CPAP in the past. They are all quick and self-resolved so the doctors are not concerned. She is still at 10ml an hour on her feedings and doing fine with that through the NJ. They are talking about moving her feedings to NG tomorrow if she has a good night tonight. Her weight tonight was 4lbs 2oz (1875 grams).

Adalyn had a good day as well. She is now allowed to feed by mouth at any of her care times if she is awake and showing interest. She still gets 15 minutes to take as much as she can and what she does not take gets compressed over 30 minutes. So far she has taken all of her noon, 3pm, 6pm & 9pm feedings by mouth. She also got moved to a memory monitor which is the type of monitor she will come home on. Her weight tonight was 4lbs 10oz (2110 grams).

Please pray that...
-Emma continues to do well off the high flow cannula.
-When they move Emma to NG feeds that she tolerates that well.
-Both girls continue to have less and less alarms.
-Adalyn continue to do well with her oral feedings and not get too tired.
-Both girls continue to grow and develop well.
-God protect both girls from infection.
-God heal Emma's reflux.

Thanks for faithfully praying for the twinners!

  1. Thank you for all your posts. I continue to pray for my little neighbor girls. I can't wait till they come home and I can rock them on that great front porch.
