I am sorry it has taken me so long to update my internet was having problems.

We had a care conference on Wednesday with the Doctor, Nurse Practitioner, Bedside Nurse, The “going home” nurse and the Social worker. This was scheduled to go over all of the baby’s progress and current health. We also were given the criteria needed for the girls to come home.

All of the girls has started a series of eye exams they are very cautious of this because the babies eyes are not completely developed. They recently discovered that Oxygen over a long period of time has been the cause of babies going blind. If they detect it early enough they can perform a surgery to prevent this. I was told by our Primary nurse that we would have a 90% chance of eye issues with the girls. They had their first eye exam on Wednesday and all of their eyes are growing NORMAL!! Our nurse was shocked.
They will repeat this test in two weeks.

Autumn: She is still the biggest baby they are all still on Oxygen and being fed with a tube.

Winter: Last I wrote they were having a specialist read her head scan for the bleed.
The Doctor was from Primary Children’s. Her test came back NO BLEEDS. (What a relief) She is doing well just sleeping and growing. I can’t believe how much she looks like Troy!

Spring: She is doing well also they have increased her feeds. I have also started pumping a little different to help the girls gain weight. I will pump half way then switch bottles and finish the milk that comes in the end is call the “Hind” and it has all the fat. So we are only feeding them the Hind milk right now. This is the most natural way to help them gain weight.

The next thing we will need to accomplish is breast/bottle feeding we will keep you posted.
The Doctor also told us the girls will be on thyroid medication until they are about one year if this went untreated they could have mental retardation. No pressure on remembering that medication when they come home! He also said they have a 50/50 chance of coming home on oxygen. Please don’t ask us about this until we know it is happening for sure. We will cross that bridge when we come to it no sense stressing out about it now.
Our house is almost finished we are getting sheetrock on Tuesday and our siding will go up on Thursday. I can’t wait to get the girls nursery ready and pull our house back together.
Thanks for caring,
Love you all!
