Today both Dave and I spent some time early this morning holding our babies. Dave held Alec for the first time and I held Lilah, after changing my first of many poopy diapers. Below is a quick clip of her sucking on her feeding tube while I held her.
For Lilah, they have started her first round of meds to address the heart murmur. They are hoping one or two rounds of meds will do the trick. We should have a better idea how things are going in a few days. She is on IV nutrients while the drugs are in her system.
Alec has done so well with feedings he should be up 100% breast milk by tomorrow. They will stop all the IV nutrients and be adding some calories into the milk in powered form. His bilirubin numbers have finally gone down so he will be off the lights today.
I want to thank you for all the comments of love and support. Dave and I read through them nightly. I'll admit I am usually in tears by the end :) We could not go through this without knowing how many people are there for us and our kids! We love you all,
Katie
