Alicia and I went to see the babies this morning. I fed Isla and Alicia fed Solomon. Isla was very tired and slept through her diaper change and taking her temperature, so it wasn't surprising that she kinda pooped out during her feeding and didn't take the full bottle. She was given the rest through her feeding tube. She took her full bottle last night, so we're hopeful she'll start taking full bottles again. Solomon was a little slow with his bottle but took the full feeding. Since he was taking longer Alicia stayed behind while I went to rounds, and Alicia was able to join us at the end.
All of babies are doing well. They are all going to be "wean as tolerated" on the oxygen today to see if they will be able to go completely off of breathing help. If they still require a small amount of oxygen it's okay and won't prevent them from coming home. Isla and Simon are off of their IV's and are taking all of their nutrition by feeding, and Solomon will increase feedings to catch up with his siblings and will off of his IV by tomorrow morning. Excellent news all around.
The babies may move to a private room upstairs next to the main nursery. It will still technically be part of the NICU, but it would be great to have a room to themselves.
