Daddy's Turn

Daddy got a turn to kangaroo Daniel yesterday. He did a lot better in Daddy's care, breathing better and seeming happier.

Both kids are doing great. Sofia's PDA appears to be resolved and she is back to ramping up on feeds on Mom's milk. Hopefully in a few days she'll be up to a full feed and can have her remaining lines removed like Daniel. Both kids are above birthweight, fluctuating a bit but growing. But still very very tiny!

Daniel had been a bit worrysome recently as he was desating a lot but it seems better. Daniel is down on the vent to 22/6 and is peeing better. Both are lower on oxygen.

And both kids' head ultrasounds came back clean and they don't plan on doing any further ultrasounds until a few more weeks when they can first check for white matter damage.

So all in all a pretty good day Fri.
