Quick update on the babies...

We still have not been able to hold Lathan. He remains on the Hudson CPAP and his oxygen need is too high, although it has come down from 70% to about 57%. Apparently it needs to be closer to 30% before they are comfortable moving him from his cozy bed. He is tolerating his food well and has progressed from 3cc's a day or two ago to 10cc's (I think he is trying to make up for lost time!). He continues to look more and more comfortable each day in his isolette which makes us really happy!

Logan has developed some sort of stomach problem so he has been off feedings since yesterday. They were giving him another x-ray when we left tonight so hopefully that has come back clear and he can get some more food on his belly...poor guy! He had both of his eyes open for a good part of our visit which was really fun to see. Most of the time he only opens one or the other and even that "peeking" is not as frequent as what we get with Lathan & Lauren.

And Lauren, as usual, was asleep most of the afternoon and is continuing to do very well. She is up to 19cc's of milk (more than 1/2 ounce)! Two nurses have told us that it is common for the girl in a group of multiples to do a little bit better than the boys, especially respiratory wise. She sure is proving that theory right!
