Ups and downs..

We had a few roller coaster moments today unfortunately, but it all turned out well. Austin had a pretty serious desat and apnea episode and took a while to come back but he's okay. Grace had a desat but slept really well with me for a about an hour and a half. Mom held Austin all swaddled up and loved every second of it. He is so aware these days, opens his eyes and looks around. Grace isn't as controlled with her eyes yet but she'll get there. They both have their eye exams in the morning.. hopefully all is well in that dept.

Updates
Grace
They are going to increase her feedings tomorrow but they did change the amount of time they take to administer the feedings. It is now 30 minutes vs. an hour and she handled it really well. She weighed in today at 1795 grams which is 3lbs. 15oz... almost 4 lbs!

Austin
His feedings were increased to 38ML today and also has the new timing of 30 minutes.  He weighed 1890 grams which is 4lbs. 3oz. .. he lost some weight but is still over 4lbs.

Tom was able to leave work early to go and hold the kids for a while and he says they both smiled at him. :) He has really missed them this week after spending every day with them for weeks now. It is nice that his office isn't too far from the hospital so maybe he can do that periodically.

More for you tomorrow.. attaching pictures from the past few days.
