We have more breaking news with Mr. Kaden. He has traded in his isolette for a crib. Once he can prove that he is able to maintain his temperature, which he has done well with all day today, he will get to co-bed with his brother. He has turned into such a big boy and has progressing quickly since last week. It is so nice having him in the crib because I can hear his little squeaks while he is sleeping and stare at his cute little face without a barrier between us. The doctor forgot to write the order for co-bedding this morning so I am supposed to remind him when he calls with an update tomorrow. Hopefully the boys will be reunited once again and will get to enjoy each others’ company for the next week or so. I think that once they have the support of one another again they will just take off.
The doctor thinks Braylon may be well enough to get discharged the end of next week but he continues to have brady spells and seems to have had quite a few today. Most of them are related to his reflux or position so they are going to see if placing him on a foam wedge will help. Since his brother may be sharing the same bed he will be sleeping on the wedge too, although he doesn’t need it. I would really be surprised if Braylon gets out next week but you never know with him, he has amazed everyone with his eating skills he could amaze us again.
Both boys have gained weight. Braylon weighed 5lbs 1oz and Kaden weighed 4lbs 1oz. Kaden got to take a shot at breast feeding. He was only allowed to try for a little while but really caught on quick. He took to it very well and he will get to try and feed from a bottle tomorrow. He loved it so much he has begun to root on everything that comes close to his mouth, like his brother did. Braylon still thinks that he should eat every time we wake him, no wonder he is such a little brute. He continues to nipple all of his feeds and now has the tube out of his nose and no longer has anything on his face other than his beautiful eyes, cute little nose, and kissable little lips. Hopefully Kaden will do well enough with his feedings they can remove his tube soon but he still needs the support of the oxygen. We still enjoy his little face too even with his extra attachments.
(I couldn't get a picture of Kaden in his crib today because the battery died to my camera, hopefully tomorrow though)

How exciting!! We have a foam wedge here at home so if you need to borrow it when you get home let us know. They aren't the cheapest things.
ReplyDelete"I can hear his little squeaks while he is sleeping.." So Cool!!
ReplyDeleteRe: The boys' robust eating habits - well Daddy B was here for dinner last night and anything not nailed to the table disappeared. We assume that its a DNA thing.
Also - finally the embroidered Snoedels arrived - Bryan will bring them today. Please give the 'standbys' an appropiate retirement.
