Wednesday Update!!

Hello everyone! I am updating for Kristin again....(this is Julie): Kristin stayed in the parent room at the NICU last night. She said there isn't a shower, but a nice private bedroom with a half bath. Very convenient to the NICU to drop off milk as she pumped. They took Sam off the vent last night, his numbers were still good this morning, so they extubated him and put him on CPap. He's still doing pretty well - but may need to go back on the vent. They will see how he does over the next day or so. All 4 babies have had successful feedings ~ when they do digest all or almost all of their food. They've each also had some not so good feedings, but that is to be expected. Tom is still on the jet vent and the doctor said that Sam is trying to set a good example for Tom to follow suit! :) Tim and Kris are staying tonight at the Ronald McDonald house at the hospital. A very nice facility and more space than the parents rooms in the NICU. Kristin would like to let everyone know that if you're interested in making donations to the Ronald McDonald house (money, gift cards, pop tabs, food, household items, personal care items) all are welcome. She will get the details to me soon to post. Kristin is doing well, has a friend visiting now and Tim ran home for a bit. She's really tired today, but happy to have the many opportunites to visit with the boys!
