The girls no longer need the first type of incubator with all the bells ans whistles. They are now in small ones and will remain in these until they can maintain their own body temperature. Ken's mom made the pink blankets to go over top.
Morgan and Mari started physical therapy yesterday with Barb. She was amazing! She checked all their reflexes, strength, and flexibility. The girls were relaxed and wide-eyed. They really impressed Barb with all that they were able to do at this stage.
Many things have changed in the last few days. The girls no longer have their pic lines in. They now take their medications orally through the tube in their mouth that goes to their stomach. They are now up to their full feds which is around 23ml which is 3/4 of an ounce. The doctors said they are not gaining as much weight as they want them to so they are increasing the calories added to my breast milk. They would like them to gain a 1/2oz. to 1oz. a day.
