Day 11-NICU

Well, the Precious Nuggets have been in th NICU for 11 days now. Here is an update on them:
they are both still on feeding tubes. They have had a lot of problems digesting all of their feedings and not spitting up. So, the Dr. has put them on continual feeds-they eat 10mills an hour, and hopefully this will help them gain and tolerate better. Parker is currently at 4lbs 12oz-which isn't far from his birth weight: 4lbs 14.2oz and Lil Miss Payge is 4lbs and 5oz-which is 4oz over her birth weight. The tubes currently bypass their stomachs and lie in their small intestine...so if they do spit up, it is not as much and can lie in their tummies. Parker has limited his number of Brady's and no longer is on Oxygen-those were two of our short term goals. Payge is off of her IV and up to almost a full ounce on her feedings. They both actually did take a bottle the other night!! First time for Sir Parker!! Chris is still having to be at work, but thinks that he may get to come in on Wednesday nights now...and hopefully the weekends when it doesn't conflict with baseball. Thank you so much for all the thoughts and prayers!! We greatly appreciate them!!
