thisnewdayThe NIC-U where my granddaughters spent their first day after delivery has seven levels of care, designated A-G, with level A being the most critical. They started the day Friday at level A but by today had progressed to level D. Earlier in the day, there had been a drop in their blood glucose levels, but that was handled through an adjustment in their IV solution.
Today, they are going to try to feed them by mouth as the next step in their progress toward going home. At delivery, Amelia was 4 lbs. 5 ozs. and Layla was 3 lbs. 7 ozs. I know that weight is not the only factor in determining viability and all other indicators have apparently been good, so we'll see. Mom and dad seem to be doing fine as well.
Still haven't been up to see them due to the lingering effects of this flu or whatever that I've had but my wife has gotten some awfully cute pictures on her digital camara. Will try to post some of those as soon as I figure out how.
