Baby steps

The boys are doing really well. Lucas continues to fight his infection but seemed much more alert this morning. He had a 3rd blood transfusion yesterday and today he looks more pink and is breathing better. He can’t seem to get off the oxygen yet though. They have it at its lowest level and they take him off it for an hour or so and then he needs it back on for a little. Soon enough in a couple of days he’ll be off it. He is working up towards his full feeds. Feeding 13ml every 2 hours and they are going to start fortifying his milk so he gets more protein calories. Overall doing really well! We still haven’t gotten a shaved head though.

Sebastian is doing awesome as well. Yesterday was the first time we tried putting him to breast. We didnt expect him to feed. We just wanted him to get used to the area and see what’d he do. Well, he was a champ. He was definitely showing off. He new exactly what to do. He latched on and started sucking. It was super emotional for me. I was crying. What an amazing bonding experience! Anyways, I had to pull him away cause the nurse was scared he’d get too much milk. He doesn’t know how to swallow very well yet so little steps. He got too eager I think. Oh and today he’s moving to a cot! So again, overall they are both doing great!
