Andrew is continuing to not like his feeds all that much, but the vomiting is more like spit up now. Much more manageable. We are continuing to give him very small volumes through his feeding tube and are still praying for a big poop -- hopefully Daddy will get the privilege of changing that tonight:)
Jack and I have been able to hold Paige and Andrew separately for the last week or so, but they still have too much equipment to hold them together. Their lines and tubes have kept them on opposite sides of the rooms for their holding sessions. They finally decided to take Paige off her oxygen (mostly because her belly was so distended) and see how she did. This enabled us to put two chairs together in the middle of the room so we could all be together. We still aren't quite able to hold both of them at once, but we did get our first family photo!
Great family photo! Hope you can take one at home soon! Thinking about you all each day. I can not imagine how hard this is. Please let me know what I can send to you all to make your days any brighter or easier in any way. I want to send something, just want it to be something that will help you.
ReplyDeleteGreat news! I'm so glad things are looking better for you all- and this photo is adorable! I can't wait for you to be able to hold them together and take them home!!! Please let me know if you need anything at all.
