The NICU has shut down to visitors except for parents and grandparents in light of flu season. Today, the babies’ grandfather came to visit. It was a great day to visit as the babies are continuing to improve.

Aubrey is back in a regular isolette, has had no morphine today. has had very little drainage from his belly, ad is showing signs of having his belly work (it grumbles when the nurses listen). He is also doing a great job on his respirator and has gone down on his support for the third day in a row. He can’t be switched to the CPAP like his sister until at least after the drain has been removed and he has had a few days of continued stability.

Lydia continues to be a rockstar. She had her Picc line removed today and is no longer receiving fat supplements because she is eating enough milk not to need them. Every line that is removed is another step (albeit a very small one) in the direction of coming home.

Finn had a great day! He maintained his stats even when being touched and held. He received 2 doses of indomethacin today and so far so good. We also got my favorite picture of him yet!
