Sorry we haven’t updated in awhile but we have been incredibly busy and exhausted since we’ve been taking care of a BABY!!! TEAGAN IS HOME!!!!:):):):) For the last week we’ve been juggling taking care of her and also trying to find time to go up and see Evie and Adeline. It’s been pretty exhausting but we’re starting to get into a routine and things are getting a little easier.
So last Monday our neonatologist decided to discharge Teagan! We had roomed in at the nicu on Friday night to get the hang of feeding her (which sounds crazy but feeding a preemie is so different from a regular baby). We got to the nicu at 8am Monday morning to catch rounds and we finally left with Teagan at around 5pm. From there life has been a blur of feedings, spit up and doctors appointments! But things are going good. She had her first pediatrician appointment last Wednesday and they said she looks good..She weighed 5 pounds, 4 oz and was 18 inches long. Then she had an eye exam on Thursday and her ROP is getting better. It’s down to a stage 1 in one eye and a mild stage 2 in the other.
Evie and Adeline are doing awesome! They’re now in open cribs! Adeline is off of oxygen and getting better with bottle feeding every day. She’s been having some digestion issues so they’ve been watching that. Evie got her feeding tube out over the weekend so she’s taking all of her feedings by bottle now! Adeline weighed 4 pounds, 10.7 ounces on Sunday and Evie was 4 pounds, 2 ounces. They should be coming home soon and joining the chaos:) They also had their eye exams on Thursday and Adeline’s ROP is starting to resolve like Teagan’s…Evie’s is slowly resolving but they’ll be rechecking her’s this Thursday to make sure it continues in the right direction.
