We have made a lot of progress! Reese is off of the oxygen, since she has had any apnea/bradycardia episodes with minimal help. She has gained several ounces, and tolerating feeds well. She is responding to nippling like most 34 week babies would . . . she shows interest, then forgets. She is taking a bottle 1-2 times a day, and having gavage feedings for the remaining 6 feedings. The developmental specialist said that she is surprisingly strong for her age (stronger than Brady, but don't tell him that)!
Brady is eating so well that he may be getting out of here soon! He is now taking 6-8 bottles a day, so he could go home as early as Saturday! We are not going to count on that, but it would be nice. We will have to split our days staying at home and coming to the hospital, but hopefully Reese won't be too far behind! We would love for them both to be home by Christmas, but I really don't think that is a possibility!
Lots of good news for the holidays! We love you all, and can't wait to see you!
