Milina is still deciding whether she wants to continue to” room in” at the hospital or go back home. She likes to be close to the twins naturally but also misses home. I will return to work next week with a slightly lighter schedule that will allow me to spend an extended lunch time at the hospital. We have been able to get a little milk for the twins. It has to be stored and delivered to the NICU and is then given to the twins and supplemented with formula.
Both twins are up on their feeding amount to help them put back on weight lost after birth. They will be on light therapy most of the day today and probably off it tomorrow depending on bilirubin levels which have dropped significantly but are still high enough to benefit from the light therapy. When they are on the light therapy we can’t hold them as much, just 30min each 2X/day. Mia hasn’t had as many changes as she did the first 2 days but is still doing great. Adam tried 1.5L on his nasal cannula which is down from 2.0L which he did not like. He started to struggle too much to breathe so he was put back on 2.0L. They will continue to try lowering the level to test him until he can be taken off completely.

They are beautiful! So glad to hear their progress. Growing big big big. Boys are just a little wimpy but I'm sure he'll get on board the game plan. I forgot to show Milina the lactation room when she decides to commute from home! It really helps to pump bedside though once they are off the light therapy. I'm sure they are treating you wonderfully now that they know who you know. Alright, they would have anyway. Don't forget to bring some blankets to the NICU for them and then bring them home for the dogs to sniff. Give everyone a hug for me.
