Twins - Day 5

Well, I guess the responsibility of updating has been passed back to me!  Thank you all for the well wishes!  We are very happy and excited to have the girls here.  I am getting back to myself again, just a busier version than I have been for the past 8 weeks!
Mike and I spent some time with the girls today.  Both are doing very well.  Brooklyn had an ECO done on her heart today and the PDA (duct) is closed!!  It is great to know that the treatments worked.  She seemed very relaxed and content today.  She held her oxygen level up where it should be and had no "spellls" with her heartrate dropping today.  She has began to gain a little bit of weight back, too.  Since her PDA is closed she will be starting feeds through a tube in her nose tomorrow.
Brienna is doing good as well.  She has been taking her feeds very well and the amount was increased today from 3.7 to around 5 ccs.  The bili lights are working and her bilirubin has finally started to come down.  So that is really good news.  She will continue with the light and blanket until it has dropped even more. 
Both girls were awake with their eyes open for a period of time today which is so much fun.  I love being able to see them awake.   Thanks for checking in with us!  Enjoy your evening!
