They have detected a heart murmur on Stella. :( She had an ECHO cardiogram performed yesterday, and the results are still not in. Hopefully, we will get results soon. The ups and downs of preemies...
It seems like I am falling into a pattern during my mornings at the ISCU. I am just so happy to change diapers and feed the girls.
Lulu had 2 poops while I was there--so happy to see it all working so nicely! Although Lulu's feeding tube was back in (she was very tired during one of her overnight feedings and would not take it all, so her tube needed to be reinserted) I was able to nurse again, and once again, she did good. We nursed for about 10 minutes, and then she took her entire 35 ml bottle. Hopefully, she can quickly become more consistent taking the bottle, and have the tube removed for good!
Stella also had a poopy diaper and she took her entire 40 ml bottle! She is catching on quickly!!! I feel like she has made such big strides these past few days. I am so proud and so thankful! She was wide awake after taking her bottle today. I hated to leave when she was so alert!
Big thanks to Annie and the Endre family for getting Stella and Lulu embroidered blankies! They are so soft and look beautiful on their "princess beds" (as Talia and Giana call their isolettes)
