McKenna, not sure what we will do with her. The poor girl is so little she seems to be starting to learn to nurse WAY too early. She is really struggling with the suck, swallow and breathe all at the same time. Can't say I blame her. I struggle to do that when getting a drink of water. But each time I have tried to nurse her oxygen levels go way down and she gets exhausted within a few minutes. This morning she had so many "sat drops" that we stopped after ten minutes of feeding and when she was placed back in her incubator she had a heart drop. They say with time she will do better and learn how to breathe and all. Hope they are right.
Keaton was having a few problems with his feeding tonight, but he did great earlier today. They have increased it so he is now doing two breast feedings a day along with two bottle feedings a day. And today he drank his full feeding (30 ml) through the bottle. I was so proud I started to cry. What a huge step forward. That is also probably why he had such a hard time feeding tonight - warn out.
Keaton is 3 lb 11 oz tonight. One more ounce and he is back up to an ounce more than McKenna, who is still at 2 lb 12 oz tonight.
Thankful for today and the positive things that happened and praying that we continue to go downhill from here on out. Thanks everyone for the continued prayers!
