HAPPY BIRTHDAY - Progress Update

Yesterday the triplets were 1 week old! A lot has happened and they have come a long way in 1 week.

Grace - Is now completely off ventilation and breathing on her own. She is also off all intravenous medicines and nutrition. She continues to be fed via a stomach tube with fortified formula and whatever mommy is able to produce. She is struggling a bit keeping her food down, so they have been feeding her gradually.

Avery - Was still on oxygen (either mask or nose tube) up until yesterday but is now trying again to breathe on her own. She has a bit of a bug so she has an IV for the antibiotics. She is also being fed via a stomach tube with fortified formula and whatever mommy is able to produce. She is feeding well and seems to be recovering quickly from the bug.

Everett - Is also off all ventilation, no IV tubes, and is being fed through the stomach tube. He has been packing away all the food the nurses will give to him.

All three had head scans yesterday, which did not show any bleeding or problems.

Mommy should be getting her staples out today.
