Quick update on everyone

Rikk and the boys had a BLAST last night having a water fight and one again today. I wish I could be there to join in on all their fun, but glad that the boys are getting to spend so much time with Rikk. Really, he will never be able to spend this much time with them again, so I am glad they are all enjoying it.

Conner is allowed to have three feeds that aren't thru his tube. We have been doing two breastfeeds and one bottle at night. Last night he took his WHOLE bottle (52ml I think)...YAY...and today he nursed 36 and then was done. While I went and pumped the nurse actually got him to finish the rest of his feed in a bottle. YAY...He has to take at least 80% of these feeds orally to go up to four feeds. Looks like tonight could be the night we get that accomplished!

Kooper has been a little bit slower, but still doing better than nothing. He is only on two feeds orally and today we did the BEST nursing than we have ever done. He got 26 nursing and only had to have 14 thru his tube...YAY...we were high fiving each other like crazy!!! His bottles range anywhere from 14-30ml orally, so he is definitely slower, but we will eventually make it.

Babies have been coming and going and it was starting to get a little frustrating, until the nurses pointed something out. They said that I have to remember that these little guys went thru a lot of trauma and stress while I was pregnant, unlike a lot of the babies here. Even though they were fine at birth, it may take them longer to figure things out than babies who had a breeze pregnancy. That makes a lot of sense and I have since stopped comparing them to other babies and Kyler's stay here.

Every time they nurse more than zero, bottle feed more than zero, it is a victory that brings us a little closer to getting home. They will get it in their time, not my time and I just have to be patient.

Oh and Kooper will have an x-ray either today or tomorrow to varify if there is a knee joint or not on his leg. So we will let you know what we find out.
