The last two days have been eventful to say the least. Mommy and Daddy were moved to the third floor of the Ronald McDonald House Monday - which means they now have a private bathroom, a tv with three whole channels, and a refrigerator to store breast milk between hospital visits!
Trey's rapid improvement has begun to plato, but he is certainly not moving backward. An attempt to ween him from some muscle relaxants was unsuccesful, but keeping him comfortable right now is a main priority while his lungs heal.
Stella continues to do well respiratorily and has been enjoying kangaroo care with Daddy regularly. They are both so peaceful and relaxed when they share this special time! Monday was a tough day for her though, as they removed the feeding tube from her belly button and inserted an IV into her arm. With small veins this was a difficult process which took several tries, but she was brave and there was success. Another major accomplishment was her ability to finally have a normal bowel movement - yeah Stella!

Glad to hear Stella had a poopy! Believe me, there is more where that came from...the first of many! I am thinking of you guys and the babies! Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteThat last note about the poopy was from me, Kristie, but I am still learning how to use this thing:) Love you guys!
ReplyDeleteGreat update! Happy to hear that things are progressing. I remember those IV sticks all too vividly-so difficult with these little ones! Luckily, they are much stronger and braver than us!
