NICU Day 29

Today was a wonderful visiting day for the boys and Mary Beth. The staff in the NICU are so supportive, and allow us to stay as long as we want, along with giving information and support during the visit.

Landon finally had his way today after his discussions regarding having his own mommy time. Mary Beth was able to be hold him for the first time today, and he was quite content in being held and rocked for quite awhile. He keeps the nurses on their toes, as he pulled out his feeding tube 4 times yesterday. They had to come up with a new way to secure his tube so he couldn't pull it out. This may be an insight into who will be the instigator.




Logan was feed by a bottle yesterday for the first time, though he still has his feeding tube until he completely transitions to the bottle. He sucked down 41cc with no problem. The nurses and doctors were surprised that he was able to do so well for his first time, but he comes from good stock when it comes to consuming food. They will alternate his bottle feedings with his tube feedings as he continues his progress.



These are again small steps toward progress, and we appreciate each and every blessing!
