Not too much was going on today. Both girls increased their feedings and were up and down on their oxygen needs. Evie started her Decadron at 2pm today and will have them every 12 hours for a total of 6 doses. However, Maggie didn’t make much progress on it until dose 5, so it will probably take a couple days. I got to “feed” Maggie – i.e. I held her syringe while the milk drained down into her tummy. Dad is on poop watch, and neither girl had bowel movements.

The girls received a wonderful package from Aunt Tedi and Auntie M (Uncle Matt). The theme was Dr. Seuss and included very cute onesies that say Thing 1 and Thing 2 and blankets, The Cat in the Hat, and Hop on Pop books, and other essentials. So, the girls got their first Dr. Seuss stories tonight!
