Nathan and Owen are growing well. Owen reached 5 pounds yesterday and Nathan is not too far behind at 3lb 15ozs. Nathan's feedings are up to 40 ml every four hours. He is doing better with 4 hour feedings because he is able to get better rest in between and not have to be woken up to eat. Nathan eats more while nursing, mostly around 70ml. Owen gets as much as he wants every 4 hours and usually packs away about 75ml. The boys have been enjoying living together in a crib. We now have the opportunity to give the boys a bath, so hopefully we will have some time this afternoon!!! It is hard juggling our time at the hospital with feeds, OT massages, baths and still not being there all the time so we have some good time with Logan.
Nathan had a bad breathing episode yesterday afternoon. He had finished eating and was just getting a small bottle with his medicine and a little milk in it. We all believed he chocked. He stopped breathing and it took several nurses and respiratory therapist to get him breathing again. When he was about 10 shades of blue they asked us to step out until they got him breathing again. They moved him out of the crib with Owen and he is now on a warmer (a step down from being able to be in the crib). They stopped his feedings last night and put him on IV fluid and did an infection work up on him. All of this is a step in the wrong direction. However, they are planning to resume feedings this morning and if he shows no sign of infection I am sure they will put him back with Owen and all in all it will not be a huge set back. Please pray that Nathan does not have an infection and that he just got a little chocked on his milk.
