What a week it has been! Kai and Kamdyn are doing great. They both ended up needing feeding tubes because they are just too sleepy to finish a full bottle. Kai takes about 50% percent of his feeds by bottle and then is tube fed the rest. Kam is taking about 40% by bottle. Yesterday and today they have started to take a few more full bottles and then stay awake for awhile after so hopefully they are gaining some strength and energy. Kamdyn developed jaundice so he needed to be under lights for a day. They have been testing each of their blood daily since then for jaundice and so far they have been good so we may not have to worry about that anymore. Some days they gain weight and some days they lose weight. We have been told that usually about the 7-10 day mark is when they start pack on the pounds. Yesterday they gained about 2 ounces each so hopefully we are in the upward trend. Kai is about an ounce away from birth weight and Kamdyn is just a couple ounces away. They are considered feeders and growers right now and as soon as they can take all of their feeds by bottle, they can come home.
Dillon and I both came down with colds and are getting pretty worn out with trying to take care of ourselves, but also trying to be with the boys as much as possible. We know they are in good hands in the nursery, but it is hard for us to be away. We are both so happy and relieved the boys are here and are doing so well and we just hope and pray they can come home soon.
Here are a few pictures of our handsome little boys!
