Lilah's heart murmur is healing with the help of the medication! The duct has gotten considerably smaller over the last few days. The doctors are very pleased and will just continue to watch things to make sure it closes on its own. We are thrilled! She is now back to getting breast milk for her feeds and is already gaining weight. Today she passed her birthweight and is 2lbs 14oz.
Alec also gained weight now that he is keeping down his food. He is up to 2lbs 13.5 oz.
Today we had hospital volunteers (coordinated by the March of Dimes) come and take a few pictures of the kids. They hooked Alec up to a portable hand held monitor so he could get closer to Lilah. This was the first time they have been next to eachother since being born. We are very excited to get the pictures back in a few weeks.
Some people have asked how long the kids will be in the NICU. We have been told that it will most likely be around their original due date, February 10th.
