Just a little Blood...

The babies are all doing well. Slade has improved a ton after getting the antacids and a little bit of blood via transfusion (since they prick them to do tests so often). He only had a couple a's&b's today...of course one while I was there...scary! We are hoping this keeps helping and he gets breathing better soon! Oh and drum roll please..... Slade is now 3lb's and is wearing clothes and being swaddled like his sisters! Hooray!

Ella had another head ultrasound and again her brain bleed is improving immensely which we are soooo thankful and happy about! She is breathing and eating well. Her eyes have been kind of goopy the last few days so she'll start drops for that but otherwise a-ok!

Claire too has been a little low on blood although she is showing no outward signs of being anemic. Regardless, tonight they are giving her a little blood to keep her feeling well. Otherwise, she is still doing great and they think they will try the nasal cannula in 4-5 days, can't wait!

So other than a little bit of blood for each baby, we are making strides in the right direction...

  1. Doing great! And 3lbs! YAY! You have 9lbs of baby!! Just remember that Slade will do things a wee bit slower then his wiser sisters right now. Hope you can get some rest.

  2. Everybody at work says hello, we sure miss you. Good to see babies are all getting bigger and stronger. Can't wait to meet them all. Carrie says hello too.

  3. happy to hear the babies are doing so well! Now I know what you meant about how exhausting pumping every two hours is!! :-) I noticed your your poll was missing one important piece of information 'how long did THOSE OF YOU WITH TRIPLETS breast feed?" :-)
