February 12 Update
13 Weeks 1 Day
The babies' due date was Friday, February 9 so now they are fully baked!! Today is their 3 month birthday!!
Mackenzie is doing well with her bottle feeds. Once she can do all her
feedings via bottles, her feeding tube can be removed. She is
scheduled for a car seat test this week. She has to be able to sit in
it for 90 minutes with no alarms. It may take a few trial runs.
Mackenzie weighs six pounds, eleven ounces. She is preparing for
homecoming. She took six bottles back to back yesterday. She needs to
be able to take eight bottles a day for three to four days straight.
Her bed was cranked down a notch today and will be lowered a notch every
day. She will have a swallow test this week. They will also check to
make sure her PDA in her heart has closed up completely. She will also
have a hearing test. She will be the first to come home before we know
it!
Madilynn and McKayla
are still having issues with their reflux. We need to pray that their
stomach muscle becomes stronger, the reflux stops, and the medicine
works so they will be more comfortable and be able to keep their formula
down. All three babes are off mommy's milk and taking a specific
formula for them. Madilynn is our chunky monkey and weighs in at seven
pounds, six ounces. McKayla weighs six pounds, twelve ounces. Her
little bottom is all healed up. Finally the wound specialist, after
three visits, found a cream to heal her bottom.
Please pray for the twins' stomach muscles to strengthen, their reflux to stop, and the medicine to work.
