One Step Ahead of Her Brother

Originally I was getting frustrated because for every step forward for one baby the other seemed to take a step back. But today, decided I am changing my way of thinking and the babies are racing each other to see who can get better the fastest. Hope they cross the finish line at the same time.

Today McKenna got her C-PAP off and is not requiring ANYTHING. She doesn't need an oxygen tube, doesn't need an oxygen bubble. She is relying stricly on the air and her body to do the work needed. I am so proud of her.

Yesterday both babies had the IVs in their arms removed because they stopped working. This is not necessarily a step forward; they both still have their IV Cathiters in their legs. But, it's great that they didn't get infections in those arms.

Missing my babies today. Haven't held either one of them in several days and feel lonely without that. Was planning to kangaroo McKenna today but with the removal of the c-pap they suggest against it because she needs to rest and that was considered a big event for her today. Not sure when they will let me hold Keaton and very eager to kangaroo him, but having to wait to see when his body will allow for that. With his c-pap removed yesterday it wasn't possible to hold him. Will be anxious to see if they let me tonight. Can hardly wait to get in to see them, but completely exhausted so need to rest before heading to hospital. Hoping to get an hour of sleep before the visit with them.
