Sarah's peep is down to 3 and Jonathan's to 2. And oxygen requirements for both staying around 28-29%. I am so grateful - high flow cannula is hopefully around the corner. They will be happy to lose those masks/prongs. They still desat and brady from time to time but are doing better at maintaining saturation overall. They seem so happy now that they are properly swaddled. Feeds are up to 7.5 and 8 cc/hr respectively. Yes, it really does take weeks to get to 1.5 tsp/formula on a continuous basis per hour!
My day was a massive, endless brain fart, forgetting things...ohhh....4 times through the day, from snappies to my purse and from breast pump kit to cell phone. I went back to the hospital to get my phone and went in to peek in on Jonathan (could not see Sarah as I'd not bathed/changed since I'd last been there and had MRSA cooties) and he was lying there quietly wide awake. I could not resist the offer to hold him but forgot to ask for his pacie so ended up trying my finger. He knew it wasn't what he was used to and it could not have tasted great (since I had gloves on) but he settled down and went to sleep. It was heaven holding him with no sense of needing to get on to the next thing like when I am there during the day. I do wish I could have seen my Little Miss Spider but will spend more time with her tomorrow. She pooped her first outfit today! lol the things we celebrate in the NICU.
Time for one last pumping then bed...
