My Twins And Their Life in the NICU

So far my babies are progressing quickly and doing so well I dont think they will be there long!

They both started off in incubators with oxygen, Jauniduce lights, IV's and constant care. Lilly had good lungs and her brother stole all the food. So he was fighting to breath and she just needs to gain weight.

By the 4th day my Lilly girl was off her oxygen and her jaundice light was removed.
Bryce's oxygen was bumped up.

Day 8 Bryce is now down to 3 liters of high flow and will be removed in a day or two from all oxygen and Iv's. Lilly IV's bumped up but she is not far behind from getting her Iv's also removed. Also Bryce can now wear clothes.

Bryce started out with 5cc of breastmilk and is now at 25cc but will be bumped 5 cc more every 8 hours till he is maxed at 45cc. My poor Lilly since her belly is so small only gets 3 cc of mommys milk every 3 hours till she gains some weight.

So after the next few days as soon as all Iv's and all oxygen is off they get to come out of their incubators and back to their normal beds were we have to see if they can maintain their own temperatures. If they can Bryce will be home in a week and Lilly in about 3 weeks after she packs on more weight.


Lillyana and Bryce Mommy and Daddy love you so much and we are proud of you both!
