2 Days Old!

It is two days now and all the kids are working on their tans. Actually the light is to prevent jaundice and stimulate skin growth.

Sofia is doing great. She's still extabated and breathing mostly on her own. They are also going to try giving her a little bit of Mom's milk today, which is fantastic! And she is loud - she cries when she is examined!

Daniel is doing fine too. He's on minimal support and they are going to try to extabate him today.

Raymond (in the pic above) is lagging still and he needs your good wishes. His breathing tube got mispositioned so he's on higher pressure/rate (19 and 24 respectively) again (he was moved to 18 pressure from 15 overnight). They are waiting to give him his final (fourth) surfactant dose and are likely to give him a transfusion to help with his hemoglobin count. The Drs tell me this is all normal given his age but to me this is definitely worrying especially given how well his siblings are doing.
