Gwynne and I have been able to change the girls' diapers today. Beside the challenge of the tubes/wires and being really small, trying to change them inside the incubator is something that we'll have to get the knack of. Ah yes, and there was poop! Crazy to think that poop is so exciting, but it is a major step.
Both girls are increasing the quantity of milk/formula on a regular basis and tolerating each increase well. Last night I was able to feed Annellice and Gwynne was able to feed her today. We haven't yet been able to coordinate the schedule to feed Alexandra.
Alexandra has been diagnosed with a VSD (Ventricular Septum Deviation...think heart murmur) that is very minor. She is expected to "grow out of it", perhaps as soon as her discharge from the NICU. They'll do another echocardiogram on the day of her discharge to formulate a plan of care, if any further care is necessary.
