Today was an UP day on the NICU rollercoaster! Both girls had good breathing days. I held both Devyn and Kinley for an hour each throughout the day...and Daddy FINALLY got to hold Kinley when he came after work!
Daddy's first time holding Kinley
The cardiologist came by this morning for their echocardiograms. The results were very promising! The blood vessel openings (PDA) are very small in both girls. The doctor is very optimistic that the vessels will finish closing on their own without further medications. And now that they are done with the heart meds, their feedings have been increased to 5 cc's per feeding, more than double what they were getting!
And more good news....both girls continue to gain weight, and rightfully so now that their feedings are increasing. Kinley is now at 2 lbs. 15 oz. and Devyn weighs 3 lbs. 5 oz.
Devyn Marie
Kinley Grace...trying very hard to suck her thumb.
The girls will have their head ultrasounds again tomorrow morning. We are praying that Devyn's is still clear and that Kinley's shows that the bleeds have stopped.
