4 Weeks & 4 Days

The girls did better on having their little spells today. One of the nurses came up with a great conclusion... when the girls move, which they seem to do quite often, the tube tickles their throat, which then makes the spell. Totally makes sense. It's nice to have a new nurse, kinda gets a different point of view.

They got their pick lines pulled out today, which were the IV sort lines that they would do everything with. It was like a permanent IV. They are doing so well on their feedings, the don't need those anymore. It was the lines they they were given other nutrients and fat. They are completely off that now, so they are gone. One less wire to worry about. The feedings are at what they call "full feedings." This means that they have the most amount you can give them for their weight. Kenedi is at 12 ml every 2 hours and Kandis is at 11 ml every 2 hrs. They will only increase them when they get heavier.

We got to hold the girls again. Most nurses are pushing for the Kangaroo Care, so it is going to become more regular to hold them.
