NICU - Day 20 and Counting

Alex seems to be fighting his infection. He did have to go on an oscillating ventilator to control his CO2 level but got to go back to a normal vent this morning. Settings are already coming down and will start feedings today. We look to get him off the vent completely in a day or two. No holding Alex until cultures are clean and he is off the vent :(

Connor is catching up rapidly. He has been the smallest since birth and is now up to 2lb 5oz and has his feedings up to 7ml/3hr. I am going to hold him today!

Cade is still the hoss of the group weighing in at a whopping 2lb 13oz! Even though I have caught bass bigger than that he is gonna get bigger than me before we know it :) Court gets the arm work out holding Cade today.

Funny side note: Cade is the biggest by far but is still in the little micro preemie diaper which looks kinda funny. Alex and Connor went to bigger diapers cause they kept peeing out the side.

BOYS.........Go Figure!!!!
