Friday May 29, 2009 - 5 Weeks Old

-Megan's weight is 1412g or 3 LB 1.8 OZ. They are trying her on the 27 calorie formula at the same quantity, 24 mls. (She has the binky in the pics.) Megan has an umbilical hernia which will only require attention if it causes her pain, could be years from now.

-Olivia's weight is 1635g or 3 LB 9.7OZ. She is at 29 mls. Her murmur is getting quieter. Drs didn't say exactly what that means but my impression is the PDA could be getting bigger, the bigger the opening the less turbulent noise. The ASD may never close but can be repaired with a simple procedure where they put a band around it to close it. She may always have a murmur too.

-BOTH GIRLS WENT ON CANULA FULL TIME TODAY !!! Sodium Chloride needed to be increased again. Will probably be able to quit sodium supplements once they stop the dieuretics.
