Amy Went Home

After multiple attempts, Amy finally went home this afternoon. Glad to be home but sad to be away. The girls' updates are: Taya got her Cadilac just like little sister did yesterday. Quite an advancement from the plastic camping tent. Haylen and Taya got to leave their marks in the world with leaving footprints today. Both Taya and Haylen are off the ventilators and on CPAP now at room air. Head ultrasounds are normal. Both girls have received treatment for PDA (Heart Murmur). Taya is done with treatment, but Haylen has one more day of treatment. Taya will get the umbilical IV out tonight. Haylen will get hers out when the PDA treatment is complete. A few days after they have been out the girls will begin small amount of milk feedings with their nutrition IV's. This also means the Kangarooing begins. Kangarooing is when we get to hold them for at least an hour at a time with skin to skin contact. Very exciting for us.

Now that we are home we will try to keep this updated more.
