The boys are all doing good and gaining weight. Brayson is now weighing 5lbs 12oz, Emerson is 5lbs 3oz and Cooper weighs 5lbs 1oz. Emerson is doing really good in his crib. He has maintained his temperature very well and his high flow canular is now back on two like it was a week and half ago. Emerson was turned down from three to two yesterday while Brayson got his turned down to two today. Dana the man nurse that has been watching the boys for the last few days said that Emerson and Brayson would probably be moved down to a regular canular in a couple of days instead of the high flow canular. Hopefully in the next week and half they will be completly off their canulars.
Yesterday the boys almost got promoted. Promoted meaning that they are doing well enough to get out of the more extensive part of the NICU to the calm side of the NICU. This part is called the annex. The annex means you are just one step closer to going home. We were set to go to the annex until we found out that they only had room for two babies. Jill and I told the nurses that we didnt want to split the boys up so we didnt go. We have friends here at the hospital that are from Gulfport. They had twins (boy & girl) and they have been in annex for a couple of weeks and told us tonight that it would not be long and we would be in the annex. They said that we are at the top of the nurses list to go. The last part of the NICU before you go home is called progressive care or what some nurses call the fat farm. The fat farm meaning that you are big enough and are not having heart rate drops or canulars anymore.
Please continue to pray for our boys to get better so we can go home.
Thanks
