So Many Updates
So I haven't written in a while. There wasn't a lot that was changing. And then I got sick. I haven't been able to go to the NICU, and it seems like everything is happening while I'm away. Thomas and Charlotte are officially in cribs! Once this delinquent mom arrives with proper blankets, they will be sure to stay toasty warm, but they seem to be doing a good job with that already on their own. Thomas is almost 4lbs at this stage. Crazy. Charlotte is 3lbs 6oz, still ahead of Audrey who is lately bringing up the rear at 3lbs 4oz. But what Audrey lacks in weight, she makes up for in respiratory strength; she has been rocking life without CPAP since Sunday evening (over 48 hours)! This is not to say that she is free of it for good, but she certainly seems to be doing well thus far, so we shall see. Charlotte spent about half a day off of CPAP herself, but I think the stress of her eye exam this morning is what brought that to an end. Re: the eye exam, her "mild stage 2 ROP" diagnosis hasn't changed, which I guess is a somewhat positive finding. It's good that it hasn't gotten worse, so they'll go back to a 2 week follow up time, and we're praying that it starts going away entirely (for all of them). Audrey and Thomas will have their 2 week follow up next Tuesday. I'm dying to get back there, so here's hoping and praying that my sleep tonight does wonders for kicking this cold. I'll post some much delayed photos shortly too...
