The babies are all doing well. Emmerson is now up to 33 ml per feed which is a little over an ounce. Logan is at 30 ml which is exactly an ounce and Brody is moving right along now eating 25 ml per feed. Since he is so much bigger it will take him a little longer to get up to enough milliliters before they can remove him from his IV fluids. They are all still breathing on their own at this time and hopefully it will stay that way. Emmerson and Brody seem to be suffering from reflux, and unfortunately there is nothing the doctors can do unless it becomes very bad and they can not tolerate their feeds. This is because they never want to give babies medicine unless they absolutely have to since there can be side effects. Brody is the only one to gain weight as of this morning, but hopefully, now that Emmerson and Logan are eating more, they will be gaining weight soon!
Overall, the doctor said today that they are progressing beautifully and we "shouldn't worry about anything"....hahaha...new parents with 3 babies in the NICU not worry...what is he crazy?!? Anyway, keep up those positive thoughts and most importantly those prayers, because somebody upstairs is really listening. We thank God daily for keeping our babies healthy and for giving us the chance to be parents to such beautiful angels.

We are so happy to hear that the precious little angels are doing well, and can't wait to meet them in person. We are all praying for their recovery and we hope that they come home soon.
Love, Leon family
