Progress!!!

Just a little update:

Both boys are off of their IV's!!!! Yay! So happy not to see an IV in their head or hand today and have one less cord attached!
Also, the temp in their isolates is down to 84.5 and 85.3 (ish). That is down from 97 when they first arrived at the NICU.
Case is now taking 51cc of milk and will reach his goal amount at his 2 AM feeding tomorrow morning. Crue is up to 49cc and will reach his goal amount at his 8:30 feeding tomorrow morning. So far they are both tolerating the increased amounts and although they do get tired and sometimes struggle a little to finish, they are in fact finishing...so that's all that matters!! Case is down to 5 lbs even and Crue is down to 5 lbs 5 oz, but they should start to come back up once they are taking in their goal amounts each feeding.
I get to give them their first sponge bath tomorrow since their IV's are out and that will be fun. Oh yah, and their bilirubin #'s continue to increase, but they are not high enough they have needed to treat them with the light yet.
My Mom had our other little ones until today, which was so great to help us adjust a little and help me heal a little. Scott will go back to work tomorrow and take Haddyn to Burley Tuesday, while Stets will stay with me in Pocatello. We'll adjust one kid at a time, but I am sure going to miss them :( My hubby is definitely my stronghold. He is amazing.
Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers...we have felt them and appreciated them. So far, so good with these strong little guys and we just keep praying they will continue to do well and come home soon and complete our little family. (That is not so little anymore!)

Case in clothes!


Crue being burped--apparently he had a better idea of fun at that moment :)
