40 days and 40 nights

Today the twins are 40 days old!!  We can't believe it. 

Stella had a great day.  She took a bottle for five consecutive feedings!  Although she did not completely eat every bottle, this feat might allow her to be put on ad-libbing, which means she will eat whenever she feels like it.  No more strict schedule.  Once she proves that she can gain weight while doing this, she will be extremely close to being discharged.

Trey seemed to show slight improvement.  He is currently on the lowest % of oxygen that he has been on in three days, and he seems to not be working as hard to breathe.  It seems like the steroids are getting ready to take affect.  The NICU was a very busy place today which means it wasn't real quiet.  This is not the best environment for Trey since he can be very irritable at times.  He had a couple episodes due to excess noise, but this just means that he is getting back to himself.  We are excited to see what the next few days bring when the steroids take true hold!!
