Twins 4/19/09

Keaton and Kali both had a good day. Keaton weighs 4lbs 11oz and Kali weighs 3lbs 13oz. Daddy got to feed both Keaton and Kali today. Keaton took in 8cc by bottle and 33cc through his feeding tube and Kali took in 16cc by bottle and 17cc through her feeding tube. They are both doing an excellent job. Keaton no longer has anything attached to him other than his 3 leads on his belly, his temperature probe, and his feeding tube. This will all stay on him though until the day that he leaves. Other than that, he is free of everything else. WOW~ it must feel great to him! Kali is doing great on her oxygen. She is still on the nasal cannula on 1 liter and her FIO2 is setting anywhere from 21% to 30%. Once she stays at 21% for a while, they will slowly lower her oxygen from 1 liter to 3/4, to 1/2, to 1/4 and then she will be completely off the oxygen. That is how they did it with Keaton. Hopefully soon, she will be working her way down. We are in no hurry thought. Her and her brother are still too little to rush them. Well, so far, the two of them are having a great day!
