Just Another NICU Weekend

This weekend was very positive for both babies.  Stella began ad-lib feeds on Saturday and has responded very well.  Today she was moved to a standard bed to test if she can hold her temperature on her own.  This is basically the final test for her before she can be discharged.  She also had her first vaccine today - for hepatitis B.  Since Trey has had a couple of good days they decided to trial him off the cpap today.  He was on high flow oxygen for 2 1/2 hours and did very well.  He was switched back to cpap to be cautious - we didn't want him to get so tired that he wouldn't recover.  Hopefully tomorrow he will have two 3-hour trials on high flow. Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Goolden for visiting on Saturday night.  We had a nice dinner out at Chili's (courtesy of the Andre's - thanks Donna!).
