HAPPY TWO MONTH BIRTHDAY WILL AND TENLEY!!!

Both babies had their eye exams yesterday...routine for preemies. Will had perfect results...YAY!..and is off the hook for another eye exam for the next two weeks. Tenley didn't have raving results like Will but they weren't horrible either. She just has to have another eye exam in a week to make sure what they saw (which was very minimal) isn't progressing. It's common for preemies to have eye issues due to their retinas getting exposed to light before they would have normally.

Will got his feed increased from 10CCs an hour to 11CCs an hour, and is otherwise doing status quo. They are holding off on giving him his two month old vaccines until his respiratory rates are more stable.

Tenley is now only having food from either a bottle (30CCs worth) or from Mommy. Whatever she doesn't drink from the bottle will be sent down her feeding tube...but only then will her feeding tube be used. She is gaining roughly 1/2 to 3/4 of an ounce a day, so I don't think eating is this little girl's issue. She is getting her two month old vaccines today, so that should put her in a fantastic mood!
