We are doing well with great news to report on Luke and a small setback for Liam. Luke was released to go home on January 18th, one week after his birth. Liam had a small apnea spell that he self-corrected for a few hours before he was to be released so he will be observed for a few additional days and sent home on an apnea monitor. At this point, there is no reason to suspect that anything other than immaturity is causing these spells that are common in preemie infants.
Both boys are still doing great and have surpassed their birth weights. They are feeding above the curve for premature infants. I have not left the hospital in a week and John is also sleeping here at nights with me to assist with the feedings. Luke is staying with us in the room as well. This set up is actually much easier than going back and forth to feed every three hours. The three hours turns into about 1 1/2 hours by the time you feed both babies and then drive home and back.
On another note, our house in NJ closed on Friday so we are finished with that. Our house in MN will close on the 28th so we don't have much longer before things will hopefully calm down a bit.
