Yippee!! Logan andConnor had the exact same weights! They both weigh 3lb 1.3 oz!! I am so excited for them. What a milestone to finally be gaining so well. Logan has almost gained a full pound!
I was able to give Connor another bottle today. He is allowed one per day. The nurse removed his tube and put a new one up his nose so he could get a better seal. VOILA, He did great. He took in 15 cc and had his suck, swallow, breath rhythm down well. I had tears in my eyes watchnig my Connor eat like a big boy! He got tired, so we gave he rest down the tube. Dr has upped the boys to 27cc every 3 hours now. They are doing so well. While feeding Connor, he maintained his sats, heartrate and respirations. The nurse said this was more important that the amount as it shows he is maturing and being able to handle himself.
Logan had a chest X ray and KUB (kidneys ureters bladder) to look at his lower abdomen. He still has hazy lungs (pulmonary congestion) and his heart is still enlarged. The Dr increased the diuretic Lasix to help with that and see if we can get him on the nasal cannula. Keep your fingers crossed! His belly looked good. There was some concern because it is distended a little, but it is CPAP related and he is full of air!! He is doing so well otherwise!
I will have more pictures tonight.
