Well we are going on our 18th day being here in the NICU. The girls are still very healthy and doing well. They have finally caught on to the eating thing I think, now it's just gaining the energy to pass the tests and process that we have to go through.
On Saturday Kilee moved to 3 feedings and passed it with flying colors. She pretty much ate her full feedings. On Sunday we were able to attempt 4 feedings. She did really well and passed 3 out of 4 feedings. The 3rd feeding she ended up getting the hickups and we ran out of time so she wasn't able to finish. That means that we will have to start over with 4 feedings again today. I think she would have passed if she wouldnt have gotten the hickups.. If she passes today we will move on to the 12 hour test tomorrow!
Valera has been going up and down on the amounts she has been able to eat but Saturday and Sunday she almost ate her 75% and is finaly consistantly going up little by little. They said that we could attempt doing 3 feedings today. She likes to take more time and rest alot in between. She also doesn't extract as much milk as Kilee does so we are getting there.
I feel like we are starting to see some light at the end of the tunnle!! I will keep you posted... Wish us luck!
