Trey had another tough day respiratory wise. He is still laboring a great deal to breathe and he continued to dislike his cpap so much that he would rip it off which made it even more uncomfortable and made him even madder making it all the more difficult for him to breathe. To help him out the Doctors decided to allow him to try a cpap mask that is new to Fletcher Allen. He likes this so much better than the nasal prongs! He didn't even cry when the respiratory therapist put the mask over his nose. Hopefully if he tolerates the mask he will use all of the energy he used to use to fight with the nasal prongs toward something more productive like breathing on his own!
Stella had another good day. She had her hearing screening today which she passed, and she continues to work on bottle feeding. The doctors said if all goes well she should be able to be discharged sometime next week!

Beautiful babies!!! I can't believe Stella might be discharged next week!!! Keep strong and they will both be home before you know it. Let me know if you need anything. How are you on preemie clothes?
