1/12 Update

I went back to work today and Milina will come home from the hospital tomorrow. As time goes on the changes in Adam and Mia are not as visibly noticeable as they were in the first 48-72hr. They are almost to their original birth weight and hopefully should be by tomorrow or the next day. They are not on the lamps today but that does not mean they won't be back on them off and on in the future. Their feeding amounts continue to increase as they are tolerating feedings well with little GI problems. You can definitely see personalities develop more as time goes on. Adam is still on the nasal cannula with 2liters oxygen. They tried again to lower it and he did not respond well. In fact he gave Milina quite the scare, she held him today for the first time and he stopped breathing for what probably felt like an eternity for Milina. They had to startle him by rubbing his back to get him to start breathing. We gave both of them a blessing last night and look forward to lots of improvements in the future.
