NICU Day 4

Quick update on the triplets..

Macy is doing well, doctors took her off "the light" because her jaundice has subsided.  She slept most of the day when we were there and Angie got to hold her for a good hour and a half..  Made both Mommy and Macy happy.

Maxwell was ready to go..  He was very alert and awake, making eye contact with us.  He's just trying to figure things out.  He's having trouble keeping his IV's in and has had to have 12 since he's been there.  Ouch.  Doctors think that he may be able to not have an IV anymore starting tomorrow.  I hope so, it's hard watching him get stuck all the time.  Andy got to hold Maxwell for a good hour as well.

Miles is making improvements.  He was taken off the vent this morning and is handling it well.  He is on the C-pap right now but they were able to turn the settings down a bit.  Mommy got to hold Miles today for the first time, and this was the first time he was really awake/alert when she was holding him.  It was good to see and makes us feel confident that he's going to be just fine.

All three babies are taking feedings as well, every 3-4 hours they are getting the good stuff.  Both Macy and Maxwell started to gain weight over the past 2 days, back to birth weight.  Miles isn't far behind.
