Today was a big day! Allie got her Broviac line out. Both girls began to feed from a bottle...ok, they took a few sucks off the nipple and fell asleep...and they got placed into the same crib. Back together again, fighting of the same space and attention...but looking cute as ever doing it! As for the feeding, the therapist came by this morning and tested both girls to see how well they feed orally. They both took the bottle well and would suckle for a minute and then tire out. They are checking to see if the girls have the muscle strength and memory to suck the bottle and then swallow down the correct passage as a not to aspirate. They will get one bottle feeding a day for a while...they will eventually work their way up to 8 bottle feeds a day! And when I say bottle feed I actually mean breast feed. But I need to manage "random internet guys" visualization!
On the next UFC Pay-Per-View, "Miscue is the NICU!"
Don't they just look like the love one another?????
