Second Try

Sofia is getting a second course of steroids to hopefully improve her lungs and wean her further on the vent. The last course coincided with her pneumonia, so we are hoping this course is as effective as it was for Daniel. Sofia got a blood transfusion today and has been needing her diuretics because she is quite puffy again. The steroids should act as a diuretic as well.

Daniel was happy today and his pressure was weaned on his NIPPV. Both babies were started on feeds every 3 hours, which is apparently a big step and they tolerated it well.

Mommy was unable to visit the babies yesterday because she was in a car accident on the way to the hospital. Luckily, she only managed to bruise her knee and nose, but the car is totaled. Thanks to her Hertz points from traveling, she is renting a car for free this week to visit the babies.
