YATU

Yet Another Twins Update:

We had two visits with the twins in the NICU today.  Kristen and her mom went this morning and Kristen, her dad and I went this evening to see Evan and Alex.  They are both improving rapidly and had their oxygen and feeding tube lines removed sometime last night.  They seem to be eating well, both are taking around 50 ml of food each feeding and their weights are stable at this point.  They both had a carseat test that involves putting them in their seats for two hours and monitoring their blood oxygen levels.  However, only Evan passed which we theorize may be related to a missing insert in Alex's seat.  He will be re-tested tonight with the insert included.  We are very hopeful that Evan and Alex will be able to come home by Friday, and maybe as early as tomorrow.  Kristen talked to the pediatrician this morning and he was certain that both boys would be home by New Years.
