Avigail and Deacon were both moved into new isolettes early this morning. The only difference is that the new isolette's top does not come off and they don't have humidity in their new units. They also like to sanitize their isolettes every 30 days.
Deacon is up to 4 ml/hour on my milk, enough for them to stop his lipids. They talked about stopping the fluid where he gets all his vitamins, possibly on Monday. If they are able to stop this (because he's getting enough milk), they will be able to take out his PICC line which will just mean one less line attached to him!
Avi started back up on my milk yesterday and is up to .6 ml/hour. She seems to be digesting it well and is having bowel movements!
Both of the kiddos are still on the ventilator. They tried to lower Deacon's settings and he wasn't responding to it too well so they decided to keep him on for now. Avigail's oxygen requirements have been a little higher, so until they can get those down they won't take her off either.
RM, Annie and Lucy were able to come to the hospital and meet Avi and Deacon today. Unfortunately, since Lucy isn't old enough she hung out in the waiting room while we took RM and Annie back separately.
