Alex
Alex is still receiving air from a CPAP machine (intubation was removed earlier after his CO2 levels continued to be good). He is about to receive his last does of the standard 48-hour course of anti-biotics. After this, he will only get more if his cultures, which take 48 hours to grow, come back positive. He has been taking food (5ml mix of milk and formula) every 3 hours. Alex has also had the IV removed from his belly button as they will not need to draw blood as frequently, if at all.
Evan
Evan is still getting high flow air, sometime room air, sometimes oxygen enriched. Like his brother, he is getting his last regular dose of anti-biotics this evening. Kristen and I both held him for about 30 minutes today, which was stressful at times for him. The nurse said that holding them during their sleeping times is much harder on them than holding them during their active feeding times, so we are going for our next visit at 8:00 which is the start of their feedings.
