5 Weeks & 1 Day

Today the doctors/nurses took the tube out of Kenedi's throat to help her breath. They put her on one that goes into her nose, but not down to her lungs. This helps her try harder to breath. Though it is still helping her along, she is able to breath out of her mouth on her own. Plus it gets the big patches that held the tube in off of her face. We can actually see those little cheeks, well they take after Shawnah, so they are big cheeks! Can't really see them in the picture, but they are definitely there!

They are starting to such on little pacifiers as well. The nurses told us originally that they might take a bit to start sucking and figuring out how to do it all, but they both took them great. Kandis' has to be held in her mouth because of her tube still in, but Kenedi is going to town on hers!

They weighed the girls again last night. Kandis has hit the 2 pound mark! Yea! She weighed in at 2 lbs 1 oz. They are looking to start her on the nose air instead of the tube in the lungs either tomorrow or Tuesday. Kenedi is gaining weight like crazy. She gained 3 oz in 2 days. She is now sitting at 2 lbs 5 oz.

It's back to the trailer for us to start another week.
