Twins 5/2/09

Keaton and Kali had a great day. Keaton weighs 5lbs 12oz and Kali weighs 4lbs 13oz. Keaton and Kali are both getting 4 bottles a day and 4 tube feeds a day. They are both doing a great job with the bottle. They are finishing their bottles anywhere from 15-30 minutes. Keaton has taken a few of his bottles in 10 minutes. He is a champ at the bottle now. Kali seemed to pick up on the bottle a little faster than Keaton but now, watch out! He likes to race to finish his bottle. Keaton is doing good with his brady's (dropping his heart rate) during feedings but he is having brady's when he gets burped. They aren't holding that against him though. Kali is doing good with her oxygen. She is still on a little oxygen at 21%, which is what you and I breathe but she has a few desats (where her oxygen level drops below 85) during her feeds so they haven't taken her completely off the oxygen yet. Maybe in a few days she will be completely off. Other than that, they are both doing excellent. Hopefully they will be coming home before too long.
