Wednesday May 13, 2009

Megan 1044g 2LB 5OZ, up 64g. Her PEEP was weaned to 5 cm H2O, when babies get down to 4 they are usually removed from C-Pap. She is still at 16mls but they have increased how they fortify it. Her new "recipe" is breastmilk fortified to 24 calories then mixed with 30 calorie formula (Similac/Ross Labs) at a 50/50 ratio to get her to 27 cals per feed. Megan has bloodwork, blood gas and x-ray scheduled for tomorrow.

Olivia is 1308g 2LB 14OZ. She is getting soo big, it is very noticeable to me. She has moved up to preemie sized diapers. Her feeds are at 23mls and they started fortifying her food, she is at 22 cals. Olivia is now only on C-Pap for 6 hours at a time and is on cannula for 9 hours. A move in the right direction.

Both girls moved to bigger binkys today, They are still smaller than preemie but getting there.
