The boys were doing well today. Austin is back on mommy milk at 2ml every three hours and he's off his antibiotics. He seems to be tolerating his feedings and he will be watched closely over the next few days to make sure his system is digesting the milk. Though Austin is slightly anemic, the doctors have opted not to do a blood transfusion right now. They will continue to monitor him and reassess on Thursday. Aiden is still on continuous feeds at 11ml per hour. He is tolerating that very well with little residual. These little guys continue to amaze us as they fight to get better. Their strength and fighting spirit gives us hope. We know that someday soon they will be coming home with us. Until that day, stay strong Aiden and Austin...you are in our thoughts and in our hearts. We love you!
P.S. We wanted to add this link for a quick clarification on Apnea and Bradycardia in case anyone was interested:

Thinking about all of you each and every day. So glad Dinah is able to pump. Our daughter had to stay in the hospital for about a week after she was born and it meant so much for me to be able to deliver that milk to the nurses every morning! the pictures are great. Keep posting - we love keeping up with the great news and progress. Love, Susan and Dave Klugman
ReplyDeleteGood to hear that the boys are digesting their feedings well and that their digestive systems look good. Nice that Austin is waiting on the transfusion, but if it becomes necessary, don't stress about it. It is fairly common in preemies. Your little guys are strong! And cute!
