24 Hour Mark

Well it has been 24 hours so the "honeymoon" period is over where preemies supposedly do well then decline. I'm glad to say that our three are all doing fantastically! The boys are on minimal ventilator support and their big sister is now breathing on her own!

You can see in this picture she has a little diving mask like thing to give her oxygen but everyone, including the drs, are amazed that she has gone off the breathing tube and has been for about 4 hours now and counting...

Mom is doing ok, she has a bit of a fever which is coming down with antibiotics and they are weaning her off pain meds and getting her to walk around which is all very tough for her but she is hanging in there.
