Another late evening post

I had to run some errands after visiting with the babies tonight. We finally ordered a MUCH needed chest freezer. It should be here in 2 weeks. Our side by side freezer has only one shelf that isn't packed with breastmilk. The boys aren't eating anywhere near the amount that I'm pumping and the bottles and bags are slowly taking over.

So, onto the visit...

Riley was put on the high flow cannula today instead of this coming Sunday. The doctor today decided that since he had been on the lowest setting of cpap for 3 days and not having any problems, that he should try out the high flow. So far, he's doing great with it! He didn't have to have his oxygen turned up too much to make up for the downgrade. He hasn't been higher than 26%. He's had NO apnea episodes since yesterday. He has, however, figured out that the cannula is much easier to pull out than the cpap and ventilator. The nurses found him chewing on it twice today.

Addison is still on the +5 cpap. He also hasn't had any episodes but he does like to sit with his oxygen saturation just below the minimum percent. His computer starts to ding if he drops below 86% saturation and he'll be fine one minute and then sit at 84-85%. He's been getting about 25-28% oxygen and when he de-sats, they turn it up, only to have him sat 99-100% (too high)

So, not too much to write tonight. Our boys are still stable, progressing well, and we're happy with that :)

I also wanted to share their pictures of their isolettes. They have their Project Linus blankets as their covers right now since they're too big to go in the isolette with them. Addison's isolette is the first picture and Riley's is the second.
