Feeders and Growers

All 3 girls are now in feeders and growers. Hollister is still on vapotherm and has her own bed. Hopefully she will come off it soon and can join her sisters. All 3 have reached the 4 pound mark. K and H's edema has subsided greatly. Feeding this week hasn't been going as well as last week. It's like all three were too busy growing they forgot how to suck, swallow and breathe. The drs and nurses all say it is normal to have a little regression in that area so we are not worried. They still have their feeding tubes doing most of the job anyway. At some point it will just click and they will take off with their feeds without difficulty. We got to have our first family photo yesterday. All 3 girls are close enough now that the cords to the sensors will reach for a group photo :).
