Still Going Strong...

Each baby is continuing to do very well with eating. Emmerson is still doing the best and the nurses are deciding if she can go to PO add lib (which means she can eat whatever she wants each feed- as long as she continues to eat close to if not more than she eats now) While doing this they will monitor her weight gain. If she goes PO add lib, and gains weight for 2 days, then she is coming home! SO...there is a possibility we could have our little girl home by Thursday or Friday. Please keep her in your prayers. God knows we are ready to have our babies home!
Logan and Brody are also doing well. Logan is a stronger eater than Brody. He usually takes over half his feeds and he wakes up early showing signs he is hungry. He does a good job pacing himself and as soon as he gets more stamina, he will be on his way home too. Brody is still struggling a bit with the suck, swallow, breath concept, but overall, he is doing well and taking almost half his feeds each time.
Emmerson now eats 65 ml every 4 hours; Logan is eating 60 ml each feed; and Brody is eating 70 ml every feed. This is excellent since they tolerate their feeds every time.
Weight update: Emmi = 2445 grams or 5 lbs. 6 oz. Brody= 2835 grams or 6 lbs. 4 oz. Logan=2210 or 4 lbs. 13 oz.
