The Diaper Incident

Day 7 
Happy One Week Birthday Haylee and Rylee. It was another pretty good day for both girls. We were a little anxious going into today because of the situation with Rylee, but all test came back negative. She is showing no signs of any abnormalities, and the brain scan looked good as well. After talking with the doctor both girls are handling their feedings well, and so the doc will slowly continue to increase their intake. This is a great sign and we are very proud of them! Even though they are increasing the amount of food, they are still losing a little weight, which is pretty normal.

On a more entertaining note Haylee had a nice little surprise for her daddy today during her touch time. Right before Ryan was set to change her diaper Haylee had a big blow out poop, then mid change she continued to let it flow! It was too funny. Not only did she have a big blow out, but daddy wasn't quite fast enough and she managed to get both feet into the dirty diaper! Poor Ryan, luckily the nurse came over to assist, while mommy laughed. After all was said and done Ryan and Haylee were able to have some kangaroo time. I am not sure who enjoyed it more, Ryan or Haylee. The second she was cuddled up with him she was out and did not stir for the entire time he had her. 

As far as Rylee's day goes she is still unable to kangaroo, but we are just itching for the opportunity for that. She did give mommy a bit of a scare today, but apparently everything is normal. After her feeding she spit up quite a bit and it had a yellowish color to it. It turns out she has a little bit of acid reflux, and was very uncomfortable. I was a little taken back with how much her discomfort bothered me, and how I wished I could make it go away! Other than that she is doing great! 

They are now breathing pretty much on their own, only on 21% O2, which is basically what everyone breathes. If they continue to do well breathing without the forced air then we may see the NG tubes removed. So overall things are continuing to go well, and both girls are doing better than expected. Stay Strong!
