Evie passed 3 lbs today!! Go girl! The girls were doing well this morning and both gained 20+ grams. We participated in morning care and then sent Joe to work and me to the gym. We held the girls early this morning – at 11 a.m. so that we could head to Bozeman after noon. Evie was a little angel with Mom and did wonderful on her blow-by oxygen. She was under my shirt and looked kinda funny with just this little head sticking out of my shirt. Joe held Maggie who just went back on her nasal cannula. They both had their food and were pretty wakeful for a while. However, Maggie had a bad spell, which the nurse blamed on a bit of spit-up. But she had to get put back in her bed and given a few breaths with the oxygen bag. It scared mom because she was pretty purple and I couldn’t see the monitor to know that she wasn’t really bad. But, she bounced back quickly afterward and was then doing just fine. We called the nurses in the afternoon and Maggie was going to start another blood transfusion – about 25cc. As Joe puts it, she needed a top off. In the evening the girls were continuing to do quite well, so we slept well in our own bed!
