First Night/First Bottle

We had a great first night with Stella - she is such a good little baby!  Today we split shifts to spend time with Trey: Mom visited the hospital in the morning while Dad stayed with Stella, we spent the afternoon at RMH, and switched for the evening.  It worked out nicely.

Today Trey trialed on high-flow oxygen for six hours and did great!  He also tried a bottle for the first time (which is rarely given to a baby on high-flow oxygen but the nurses felt he was ready)!  Dad said he did great!  Mom missed out but was happy to hear the news.

Stella's first doctors appointment is tomorrow morning so we plan to have her visit her brother in the NICU.  Here's hoping we can get out the door on time!

  2. Just catching up on the news, It's great that Stella has made such outstanding improvements. I'm sure Trey will make good progress as time goes by. Thanks for all the updates and give each a little squeeze (hug) for us.

  3. Congratulations guys. I am so happy the twins are doing well. Stella is such a beautiful little girl. Trey sounds like he is making great progress. Ty was back on the pediatric unit from 2/15-2/17 now home with oxygen and a monitor..we are feeling more comfortable now...hadnt slept in days as he was having so many apnea spells. One day at a time and we will all get there. We will be back at FAHC on March 1st for appointments...Hopefully you will be home but if not hopefully i will see you...take care. Enjoy parenthood :)
