2 Days in 1 (1/16-1/17)

We had a very busy day yesterday and didn't post the day's events in time. So rather than type 2 different posts for yesterday and today I am just combining then. As time goes on the changes seem to be more gradual or at least less visible. Adam is doing well in his bassinet and maintaining his body temperature well with just swaddling. Mia is still in her isolator and has more difficulty maintaining her body temp but is also the lighter of the two so she has less protective fat to help her. She will be in her isolator for a few more days. Adam's breathing continues to be his greatest challenge so far. His flow was turned down to .10 with an oxygen concentration level fluctuating between 21% (room air concentration of oxygen) and 25%. He needs a a higher O2 concentration when he is feeding or being held. Adam is better at bottle feeding than Mia is both in the amount he is able to eat and the whole coordination of sucking/swallowing/breathing. We are hoping that next week Milina will be able to try breastfeeding. Dad was finally able to come home and meet his newest grandchildren this weekend. Milina and I decided to have a date night tonight to relax and get away for a few hours, nothing big just a movie or something.
