Today we had a pastor from a church that Ian used to go to come and baptize the boys. Ian felt it was important to have done, just in case anything would happen. It was a nice and quick little thing and the pastor is a very nice man who we've known for years.
So, notice anything different about Addison??? He's got NO IV's!!!!! His IV blew last night and as of 6pm today he'll be getting 12ml of breastmilk. By tomorrow afternoon, he'll be up to 14, his magic no IV amount. When his IV blew last night, the doctors decided to just not put in a new one since he's tolerating his food so well. He's peeing and pooping with no problems. He is still getting his breathing treatments and his lungs still sound a bit crackly but that's totally expected.
Riley still has his IV in and is now up to 4.5ml of breastmilk. He is still having a little bit of trouble with his lung. He's currently not allowed to lay on his right side because his right lung is the one they're having problems with. He's still staying around 30% oxygen and he responds really well to his breathing treatments.
We're very proud of how far they've come in the short amount of time.

Awesome news! I'm very happy that you got the babies baptized and even happier to hear how well they are doing! Thanks for keeping us up to date on the babies' conditions.
God Bless you all!

My son's "magic number" for feeds was 14mL as well! His gut would just shut down when we tried to give him more than that. He's now up to 60mL, full feeds for his size. I got so frustrated when we couldn't pass that hump. Big (((HUGS)))
