icon16 Update on Mel and the girls

Since she's stuck in the hospital until they come home with no computer access, I'm giving a bit of an update for Mel

Mel is rooming in and both girls are taking half their feedings by nursing!!

Sophie is also taking 2 feedings by bottle, and is down to 2 gavage feedings. Dani is on 4 gavage feedings still, but they are slowly increasing. They have the girls in a bed together now, and they are off of the warmers, Sophie is off of the O2 also, and Dani is on room air, so they are hoping to take her off too(they are just waiting to see how she responds).

Sophie is up to 5lbs 1gram as of this morning! Dani is 4lbs 3oz, and is having a little more trouble putting on weight, so they are giving her a bottle after her nursings to make sure she's getting plenty to give her some good gains.

Mel said they should be coming home sometime in the next week(and she's hoping).


Misty, if Mel's dh doesn't get on tonight for an update for you guys, feel free to copy and paste And she's getting some pics to share, when she can
