Both girls continue to improve. Hazel's feeding keeps increasing and she is now up to 10cc. During the night last night, they took an x-ray of her chest to see why she might be working harder than normal and believe some moisture in her lungs was contributing to her labor. They gave her a diuretic to try and soak up some of the moisture and alleviate some of her work. Even still, she was never in any danger and is still breathing well with the help of the nasal cannula. Hazel's skin appears to be getting less and less translucent and her face is really taking shape. She smiles often, whether sleeping or not, so it's evident she is much happier. They changed her isolette (incubator bed) tonight to a less fancy one since she is no longer critical and they need the high dollar, fancy ones for more critical babies. She will still be in a fully enclosed one that is still heated. The main difference is the top doesn't lift up with the touch of a button.
Cora gained an ounce of weight yesterday and her feedings are hanging pretty steady at 6cc's of breast milk at the moment. Both girls are getting a pro-biotic once per day to help them digest a little bit and their poo continues to impress. Cora is as beautiful as ever and is still breathing on her own. We got to hold her tonight and see her smile for the first time. Hopefully Hazel will get the tape off of her face soon and we'll get to better see her features.
