Baby Fix!

The babies have had a few busy days lately. Chase was extubated, reintubated, received a blood transfusion, cuddled with Dad, got a new "Igloo" (isolette), gained 20 grams and claimed title of cutest baby in the unit- of course awarded by mom! Reilly gave mom a great birthday present- two days at much lower oxygen requirements- and still hanging out in the twenties! Way to go Reilly!! Here are a few pictures from the past couple of days:

Reilly!

 

Reilly's teeny tiny toes

 

The nurses ran to find me to show me how pretty she looked with her eyes wide open. Isn't she gorgeous? That big green thing is her soother. Its as big as her face but she loves it!

 

 

 

 

 

Chase!

Dad sweet talked the nurses and convinced them to let him hold Chase this morning. Lucky for him, they had to change his isolette anyways! This is dad's first time holding him!

 

 

 Blowing bubbles!!

We are hoping for good days this week! Reilly is almost at full feeds so she should start to gain weight now. Her oxygen is lower now so we think the steroids are helping, hopefully that keeps up this week too. Chase is trying Tylenol to see if that will help close his duct, otherwise he will be making a trip to Sick Kids sometime next week for surgery. We will continue to take pictures and share as the week goes on!
