Today was a BIG day for both babies:
Trey has made very positive changes and although he's not ready to give up his own room yet, his lungs are clearing and he is making strides toward coming off the oscillator. He even had some spontaneous breaths: this is one of many small steps in the right direction.
Stella was upgraded to a Condo! She is now in a covered isolette which will give her more of an isolated environment and an opportunity to grow stronger each day. She also had some cuddle time today with both Mommy and Daddy! Since Mommy is still sick she wasn't able to have skin to skin contact, but she layed in the Kangaroo hold with Daddy for nearly two hours without her breathing aids!
What great news! Taking spontaneous breaths is a GREAT step! Trey will be off the ventillator in no time!
ReplyDeleteKangaroo care is the best! It can get very clinical in the NICU all day, so having personal skin to skin time is a real blessing. And it is amazing that Stella is already able to have that much time without breathing aids-what a strong, little girl you have!
Stella and Trey are beautiful!! I've been thinking about you and so glad you posted this blog on FB. Wow - what an experience you've had so far! Sounds like the twins are doing well - soon you'll be having cuddle time with both of them! Praying for continued growth for Stella and Trey, that Beth is feeling better, and that the four of you will be home soon. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful! We can't wait to meet them! We are thinking and praying for each of you everyday, and that you will all be home soon. Love you guys!

So many miracles have taken place in Fletcher Allen's NICU -- you are definitely in good hands. Huge hugs to you all. Also, please pass along our love to Jeremy's good friend, Louie Adragna and his wife Sarah who are also there with their triplets.
