More good news

We went in to see the boys at the hospital today and got some more good news! Yesterday after we got home from the hospital, Sawyer woke up and was pretty mad that the ventilator tube was still down his throat. They have been weaning him and decided to take the tube out. He did great and is doing great today. We have been told my more than one nurse that he has a little temper on him. He doesn't like to be messed with and will let you know what he is thinking! Sawyer is only on 1 L of hi-flow oxygen and his % of oxygen is about 30%. He is doing awesome and is able to bottle feed sometimes now. He will be at his full feedings today and they are going to take out the other catheter in his belly button that was used for fluids.

Briggs was taken completely off oxygen yesterday as well but today went under the bilirubin lights for jaundice. Hopefully he will be off of the lights today. We don't want Sawyer to realize that Briggs gets a nice light to sit under and some cool shades to wear otherwise he might want to get jaundice too! Sawyer's levels are fine for now. Hopefully they won't get higher.

Briggs is eating his full feedings now. He has enough energy most of the time to get them all the way eaten. I was able to try to nurse him today and he did pretty good for a first try. He got tired though and I wanted him to be able to eat his food so I didn't mess around too much with it. I will be excited to start teaching both boys how to nurse when they get home.
