FEBRUARY 12 UPDATE

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.
