Twins Update 10/11/08



The tiwns are now one week and three days old and are continuing to show daily progress. Both have re-gained their birthweight plus a couple ounces! They are breathing room air completely on their own without any assistance from ventilators, etc. As of yesterday, (friday 10/10/08) they became free of their IV's which has made holding them a lot easier (less cords they are attached to the better)! Our next step will be getting them to eat. Right now they are fed through a tube that goes through their nose. They have developed a healthy appetite, their feeding amount increases several times a day. This is great news and will be very helpful in getting them to pack on the pounds!
