I got to change Keaton's diaper tonight and found POOP...YEAHHHHH! We never thought we would be so excited for a poop in our lives. He still needs to go more, but there was poop and enough for it to be considered a poop and not a "Streak".
Keaton is now up to 2 lb 14 oz so only has two ounces before he is at birth weight. McKenna gained two ounces over night and is up to 2 lb 1 oz...an entire ounce above her birth weight. We are so grateful.
McKenna is still having problems remembering to breathe. While visiting her this morning there were two back to back times when she stopped breathing and her heart rate slowed WAY down. It was so scary. We called this afternoon and she had a few more. They say due to being preemie her brain isn't fully developed so she forgets to breathe. Keaton has the same problem, but it doesn't seem to happen as often and he is able to recover on his own where as McKenna has to be stimulated by someone touching and poking her to remind her to breathe. It is so scary.
Keaton was moved over to McKenna's row today so now they are side-by-side and we can sit in between the two and not have to go back and forth. This will be so nice and help us to even out our time with each baby a little more. What a blessing!
Prayers today are that they both have bowel movements and both remember to breathe. Also that they gain weight, and that God continue to heal and touch their bodies for complete health and restoration. One more day down and one step closer to being able to take home our precious babies. I couldn't be more grateful.
