Yesterday while we were visiting, Mabry was fed from a bottle for the first time, she ate 7ml. They also tried this again at 3am, and will again at 3pm today. They also have her isolette open (still under hood), and so far she has been able to maintain her temperature. She is swaddled up pretty good though. These are milestones in the preemie world. Alex's blood gas this morning was a little elevated, carbon dioxide was a 67, so the nurse didn't know if the doctors would change anything for him today.
Two nurses have signed up to be primary nurses for Alex & Mabry. This means if either one of them is on duty, they will care for the twins. This will be much easier for us, as it is hard to learn all their names, and hopefully good for the babies as well since we can't be there all the time, maybe they will at least have some other familiar faces.
