Yay! "Will" is still winning in the polls!

Not much to report on today being that the updates were given to Becky from the nurses via phone calls. They are both up to 14CCs of milk every three hours.

Will - he's actually off the TPN (vitamin drip) and is only running on the nutrients provided from Mom's milk. The culture for his staph infection came back negative again today so they are preparing to take his central line out; therefore won't be getting TPN anymore since the central line is where its fed from. He's up to 2 lbs 4oz...another pound and he can start sporting some cute preemie clothing.

Tenley - still hanging around 2 lbs but is doing great on the milk. She is off the morphine and is now back on Fentanyl at a much lower dose than what she was on before. Hopefully they can ween her off this pain med because studies have found it can make it harder for them to breathe on their own if on it for prolonged periods of time.
