Miss Lauren has now graduated to the level 2 NICU where the less critical babies stay! She is on her way to regulating her own body temperature and soon we will be able to dress her in cute pink preemie clothes...I know she is excited! She weighes just over 3 lbs and continues to improve each and every day.
Logan had his CPAP removed today and was given a nasal canula instead. He was so much happier, in fact, when we left he was laying flat on his face, something he was not able to do with the large CPAP. He was wide awake for most of our visit and taking in his unobstructed view of the NICU. His feeding have increased and so has he (3lbs 11oz)! He is now able to wear clothes and he is regulating his own temperature very well.
Lathan is way down on his oxygen (under 30%) and is doing GREAT! I think that if he weren't connected to all the tubes he would crawl his way out of the hospital...he is very strong and doesn't stay still for long. He still has his CPAP and keeps the nurses on their toes trying to make sure that he doesn't wiggle himself out of the pronges (which happens about every 5 minutes)!
One of the nurses in the level 3 nursery requested that she be the primary care nurse for our little ones when the babies all move to the level 2 NICU. Apparently she has completely fallen in love with them during these past three weeks...pretty cool that they are already so darn lovable!
Wow! What blessings God has given our family! I'm so happy for the progress that these miracles have made! I enjoyed my visit with you and your babies this weekend and look forward to another one in 2 weeks!!! Love you bunches!
ReplyDeleteWow...! I / WE are so happy for you and your babies and look forward to seeing them. Their progress is wonderful! You all are blessed!
ReplyDeleteI believe it was the Greeks that said that children are "tabula rosa" or, blank tablets and what we write on the tablet is what we read later. I think you've got a book started, eh?!?!?! Keep up the good works! Love, Michael, Karla, Amy and Andrew.
