All Three Held at Once!

Will and I visited today with Audrey's godfather, so we were able to hold all of the babies at the same time! They seemed happy about it, and I know we loved it. If only we could get them all in the same room, preferably one with a view (window).

Audrey and Charlotte are both still off CPAP; it's wonderful to see their little faces free of velcro tape and tubing. That said, Audrey was having some desats that seem to have come out of nowhere. We're hoping and praying that it's just a short blip and that she'll be able to remain off CPAP and thrive. Her feeding has been increased over the past couple of days, and she's in a crib now too, so maybe it's just too much all at once...? She lost 5 grams yesterday, so her weight gain is a continued prayer request as well.

Charlotte, on the other hand, is still putting on the pounds like crazy; it almost seems plausible for her to catch up with Thomas at some point. Who would have thought?!

I say that, but Thomas is also continuing to grow well. ENT came by again today and said that his salivary gland infection is improving; they actually decided to stop one of the antibiotics he's been getting. I think he'll get the full 7 day course of the other, but all seems well. He's breathing room air on CPAP, so the nurse was thinking that they'd either try to get him off CPAP or bottle feeding this week, one or the other. Perhaps the girls will be able to start bottle feeding soon as well.

I'm pretty sure we get a new attending physician tomorrow (for the next three weeks), so I guess we'll just have to wait to see what he/she thinks. Until then...
