Today Lane and Sloan received their 2 month immunizations...3 shots!! Sloan did pretty good, but Lane did not like them at all. Of course, the nurse had to tell me this because I asked her to give the shots when I was not going to be around:)
Other than the shots, we had a pretty good day today! Scott and I got to spend a lot of time in the NICU before the weather got bad. Two of our favorite nurses were in our room so it was nice to sit and visit with them while we hung out with the babies.
Lane is still weighing 3 pounds 9 ounces, and is still doing well on CPAP. We are anticipating her to be off of it real soon. Hopefully her lungs are getting strong enough! I thought Scott was going to change his first diaper (YES, his FIRST one!) but the nurse noticed his eyes watering so she let him off the hook:)
Sloan has lost an ounce and then gained it back. He weighs 3 pounds 7 ounces. He is still being weaned off of the ventilator. Today his rate was 24, so we are getting so close to 15! The doctor told us that having him off the ventilator by next week would be a great goal for him. We are saying our prayers and crossing our fingers!
Lastnight we experienced a "first"....Scott held Sloan at the same time I held Lane. It was great!
Looking forward to what progress tomorrow brings!
such great news about their weight! isn't it just amazing how one tiny little ounce can make such a difference!? and the shots are never easy....especially when they realize what is coming! we continue to pray for your sweet family - stay strong!
