It's a beautiful day outside, and the boys are doing great!!! Not too much you can ask for on a Saturday! I still haven't been able to see the boys, but Kalleigh has been doing double time for me!!! Both Nicholas and Joseph have been weaned down to 2l of forced air per minute, and both boys are in the low 20's on their oxygen assistance, with Joseph being at room air!!! The doctor is so happy with their progress that tomorrow morning they may allow Kalleigh to attempt to breast feed them!!! That will be another great accomplishment for the boys, and we're really excited for a lot of progress this week!!
Joseph will probably be in an open crib by tomorrow or Monday at the latest! The doctor doesn't want to introduce breast feeding and an open crib at the same time, so they will do the feedings first and then open crib!!! Joseph now weight 4lb 3.75oz, and is really holding strong on all of his vitals!
Nicholas is now weighing in at 3lb 11.5oz and doing great as well! I know I mentioned this before, but his hemangioma has gotten a little bigger over the past couple of weeks, but it seems to be looking a little better and hasn't grown as much if at all in recent days. Again this isn't anything to worry about, it's only cosmetic and hopefully in a few years it will go away.
The pictures of the boys will come later, Kalleigh will be sending me some to put on here when she goes to visit them next time. Pushups went well today, and I look forward to the century mark tomorrow! I know that sounds crazy, but I believe all of the positive energy from this challenge is paying off, and the boys are feeling it!!! Keep up the hard work everyone, and I hope you can get outside and enjoy your Saturday!!!
