Things sure are looking good for Pfischer and Phoebe! Today both babies are weighing over 5lbs. First up we will update Pfischer...
Pfischer is weighing in at 5lbs 2oz today he is taking 24 calories per feed to help him with weight gain...obviously its working. They are also giving him vitamins now. He is nursing very well he is taking about 30mLs per feed and their full feed at this weight is 46mLs so that means he's only taking 16mLs by a bottle or Gavaging. (which is through the tube in his nose) He is also holding is own body temperature which means he is still in a crib. YEAH PFISCHER!!
He is also doing very well on waking up when he is supposed to eat. Today he woke up at 9am, 12pm, and 6pm ready to eat! That's 1 feed time shy of 100%. He does have obstructive apnea but he is coming out of the spells on his own so they are very positive. One of the conditions for him to go home is 5 days with no apnea spells.
Now little Miss Phoebe Jade!
She is weighing in at 5lbs 3oz, she has come so far from 2 short weeks ago. She is constantly out weighing her brother. She is also taking 24 calories with her feeds and vitamins at every meal. She, like Pfischer, was awake for 3 of her 4 feeds from mom today. Shes nursing pretty well from what i'm hearing. She is also taking about 46 mLs per care time. She is off the Bili Lites now, her billiruben is lower than Pfischers so we are very hopeful she is off them for good now. She was moved to round incubator today, it was to see if she could hold her temperature steady before she could move to a crib...
...guess what...she made it.
GO PHOEBE!!!
So here is what the newest arrangments look like in
la casa de Pfischer y Phoebe.
We are so so blessed to have these two beautiful babies in our lives and in our family. They truly are Miracles.
