We are so close to the end, but still yet so far away. All that is left to accomplish is this darn feeding thing, and it is ever so frustrating!!
Yesterday Kaylyn tool ALL of her feedings PO, and they even removed her NG tube yesterday afternoon. However, last night she regressed and didn't do so well with the bottle and they had to put the NG back in. I didn't even get to see her face with nothing on it, and that kind of bummed me out. We will see how she does today, hopefully she picks it up a bit.
Kylee is still on every other feeding PO, and she does OK. She is not overly interested in drinking from a bottle, and usually will only finish half of it. This morning they tried a high-flow nipple in hopes of peaking her interest, and she did finish her entire bottle but who knows if that will happen with the next feeding.
I am supposed to meet with a discharge planner today and pick out a pediatrician for the girls once they are discharged. I know we are getting close, and I need to be patient.
Today the girls gestational age is 36 weeks. It is hard to believe that they will be 8 weeks old tomorrow. They will be getting their 2 month immunizations sometime in the next couple of days. Hopefully that doesn't slow down the progress. From what I hear kids can feel kind of crappy after getting them. Its not optional though, they need their immunizations, especially because they are preemies.
