The doctors came around to talk to me this morning and said that it's very possible that Livi will be coming home this Sunday! Of course, this depends on a couple things over the next couple days - she cannot have any brady's and she has to continue taking her minimum feedings all by mouth (but she hasn't really had a problem with either of these so far). We're very excited to have her home, but also very nervous! Just hope that we're ready! I am supposed to bring in her carseat tomorrow morning so they can test her sitting in it for one full hour to make sure she maintains appropriate oxygen levels, temp, etc. And they also had us set up an appointment with our pediatrician, as she'll need to go in within 48 hours after going home. Although we're happy to be bringing her home with us, it will be sad to leave her sister behind. I hope that Caroline catches up soon. She's doing very well and is slowly gaining weight every day, but she's still having one to two brady's every day. She's already had two since I've been here today. :(
Also, they started both girls on this multivitamin - it's a green liquid that is super strong smelling and tastes awful! I gave it to them both mixed with a little breastmilk this morning. Olivia made a super hilarious face because she knew it wasn't her normal breakfast, but still took it all down like a champ - she's a good little eater. We had to give it to Caroline in her tube so she wouldn't taste it. She still had green spit up a few minutes later - I think she'll be a little more sensitive to medicines, etc.
All in all, things continue to go well. We'll let you know after tomorrow what the verdict is on Olivia's homecoming!
Today's weigh in:
Caroline - 4lb, 4oz
