Back to work and back on the joe.

Lance is back to work today so I am holding down the NICU. Isaac started having apneic spells again so he is back on caffeine-guess he needs his joe. He will be on it for 5-7 days and they will try to wean him off it again before he goes home. If he still needs it, he will just need to go home on an apnea monitor. Both babies are at their full feeds and have their PICC lines out. Erik is maintaining his temperature so they turned off the warmer in his isolette. If he continues to maintain he goes to a bassinet tomorrow. We started breastfeeding last night and both did pretty well. Will do that once/day for now as they need to get the hang of it but the nursing/medical staff need to have a good idea of how much they are getting. It's amazing how many of the nurses have connections either to Chester or Shelby or know people we know. It's a small world. And they are doing a great job of taking care of our little men.

  1. Love the image of a caffeine infusion via IV. How many of us could use that?!!
