Well, the doctors have good reason to believe that Austin does not have NEC.  He is doing well and his latest X-Ray was much better than the last so hopefully the gases are passing.  He will continue antibiotics, however, for several more days and should be back on milk in just a few days.  Aiden is doing well but they are concerned that he may be exhibiting early signs of NEC now as well so they went to a continuous feeding schedule for him.  Instead of giving him 33ml every 3 hours, they are giving him 11ml every hour continuously hoping that will allow him to get the food but not build up the gases.  Thank you, everyone, for all your support!
