Reese was taken off of her photo therapy today! Now we can see her face anytime we want. She is doing great. They both have the nasal prongs in their nose. It is forced air and started at 3.5LPM(liters per minute). Reese is down to 2.5 now and still on room air! Riley, she is having a little harder time keeping her blood oxygen rate up. Her 1st week she was on room air at 3.5. Now they are giving her a little more oxygen and keeping her flow at 3.5. The nurse said she thinks Riley is just now figuring out that she is a preemie.lol.. This is something that will go up and down for who knows how long.
They're gaining the weight back they lost. They are not at their birth weight yet, but not too far from it.
Conor's update: He is sick today. Running a little bit of a fever so I hope it goes away soon. We are not supposed to go see the girls if anyone in the house has a cough, fever...for 1 week after it goes away. We can't risk getting the girls or any of the babies in the NICU sick. So today we just didn't hold them. Which is really hard, becasue when we hold them, they seem to do really good and it helps them to grow.
That's all for now. I am going to run back up there this evening. If anything changes, I will be sure to post an update!
