Today, I was surprised when they told me that Matthew and Anna Kate were both ready to get their first bottle today! Since they are 33 weeks adjusted age and both down to 30 minute compression feeds-it was time to try a bottle! The nurses were wonderful and waited until Brent and I got there. Both kids did great! They had 20 minutes to drink as much as they could. Anna Kate finished her whole bottle and Matthew almost finished his. Once they consistently do well with one bottle per day, they will move them to two and then to three. Once they are taking three bottles a day, they start trying them on bottle feeds only.
Andrew was alert today and seemed to be feeling much better. We are praying that the infection is going away.
