baby update

Blake is on the regular cannula at 1 liter and room air. He is up to two bottle feeds a day, and he eats like a champ. We love watching him eat, when you take the bottle out he burps almost on command without a whole lot of patting and is rooting for more.

Addison is on HiFlo at 4 liters and still has her OJ feeding tube. They are convinced its reflux but they want to just wait and she is she out grows it. Other then that she is doing fairly well minus her Brady spells, which to me are too frequent to stop her caffeine but they did.

They doctor who was on service when they were born is coming back into rotation and during our passing in the hall this past week he said he sees a discharge in our very near future. I am not getting my hopes up just yet, because we still have a little way to go.

    Glad to hear they are doing well!  Hang in there!  It's hard to be patient at the end - they kept saying "it's near" and he didn't come home until 43 weeks GA!
  • Glad to hear the babies are doing well!  FWIW, they discontinued the caffeine for my son before he'd stopped having bradies.  I think it's really only for apnea episodes.  He was still having 3-6 bradies a day when they discontinued the caffeine.

  • That's awesome!! There's a pPROM mom on the facebook group who ruptured early too and delivered at around 24-25 weeks and Jovin spent 170+ days in the NICU. He has O2 at home and a g-tube but he looks fantastic. I hope your LO's get to go home soon *crosses fingers*
