The twins are both doing well in the NICU. Today they are 37 weeks in gestational age, 23 days old. One is completely off oxygen and breathing on his own and the other has limited assistance. It is a long way from 3 weeks ago. Of course it doesn't feel like that on a daily basis, but when I have a chance to step back the boys have really come along way.
Twin B developed an infection and is on day 6 of a 21 day medication regiment. SIGH! He is eating beautifully, gaining weight perfectly, but has to remain in the hospital because of the infection. He is fine, but it just sucks that this is the reason why he remains in the NICU.
Twin A is eating really well as well. He took a bit longer to get with the program, but will no be shown up by his brother. Once he is weaned off his oxygen and can breathe well on his own for 24 hours he can come home. It could be any day, but it is all up to him.
So we continue to wait...
