Mallory and Kelby

Our girls are both doing really well. They are both now eating about 13 cc's every 3 hours and they are tolerating their feedings well. They have blood tests every day and last Friday they found that Mallory has a slight infection that they are treating with antibiotics. The doctors had to do another spinal tap on her on Friday to make sure that the infection did not get into her spinal fluid and to also check for Meningitis. The results of that test came back on Saturday and everything looked good. Kelby had to go back on the ventilator on Friday. Her lungs were just getting tired and she needed a little bit of a break. She is doing really well on the ventilator now. So, both girls are now on a conventional ventilator and doing well, they make slight changes to the settings several times throughout the day, but everything looks good. They may try to take them off the ventilators in a few days. They weighed the girls again last night, Mallory is now 1 lb 11 oz and Kelby is 1 lb 8 oz. They have started adding protein and other additives to their milk to help them start putting on a little more weight. Thank you all again for all of your thoughts and prayers. We will try to keep everyone up to date on their progress.
