At 9:00pm tonight, the twins will be 1 week old...

They had another busy day of visitors. Grandma and Grandpa Lewis, Aunt Jen and Uncle Curtis and, of course, Becky and Bill.

Tenley - Weighed in at 2 lbs and 2 oz today. Some of which could be due to swelling from the IV fluids but considering her birth weight of 1 lb 13 oz, this weight gain in a week was fantastic news. She is still digesting a good amount of her milk (roughly .7 CCs every 3 hrs). Her central line went in last night and will hopefully be able to be used tomorrow...trust me, her little legs and arms will be more than appreciative.

Will - He came off the Dopamine last night for his low blood pressure (yay!) and has since maintained good readings (double yay!). We're keeping our fingers crossed that he won't have to be put back on that. The Neurologist will be assessing him tomorrow to see if he can come off the Phenobar for the seizure suppression. He did some good looking around again today...I think he wanted to meet Grandma Lewis. He's still not getting any milk but as long as he has days like today, it wont be too far off in the future.

I miss the little ones but I know they are in good hands. Thanks again to everyone for your support, kind words and prayers. Becky and Bill are more than grateful. Feel free to post all your messages as they read this on a daily basis.
