In our arms

We got to hold Emma today! We didn't even expect it today so needless to say we were thrilled to finally hold one of our girls in our arms. We had her out for about 20 minutes before they had to put her back in her isolette. She had a de-saturation in her oxygen while she was out, so they put her back in. We like to think she got so comfy and happy with mom and dad that she forgot what she needed to be focusing on.

Emma is now taking in 6cc's every 3 hours of mommy's milk. She is doing very well. Mady is doing better but still taking her time to catch up to her sister. She is still on the CPAP. Her gas levels were better and her lung x-rays seem to be clearing up. Unfortunately sometimes she gets too comfortable in her breathing pattern and doesn't take deep enough breaths. We're hoping she'll get to have it removed tomorrow. She is having a little bit of a dark substance come up through her feeding tube. This may be showing signs of a slight GI issue. They gave her some medication and she did have a bowel movement today, so that is good. I think they need to see that nothing else comes up from the tube before they will start to feed her. She is receiving nourishment through her IV. They both were opening their eyes a lot today. The billy lights were removed but they may be back on them again tomorrow as they level out.

We're going to go in tomorrow morning to try to be there for the doctors rounds.
