Just another Wednesday

I don't have much to post...therefore the absence. The twins are doing well. Kate has a cyst type thing on her right forearm. They think it's where her last IV location was at, but that was well over a week ago. It's about the size of a pea, but on her tiny arm that's huge. They started her on antibiotics last night, even though she isn't showing any signs of infection. We are worried about her.

Carson is still chugging away...fat and happy. :) He is getting to wear clothes now that he can maintain his own body temp. His IV is finally out, and we are all happy about that. With less wires and more clothes on, he actually looks like a cute, content little baby. The only thing holding him back from coming home is his indifference towards bottle feeding. Sometimes he does great with it, and other times he shows no interest.

Kate is eating 30 ml per feeding (30 ml = 1 oz), and Carson is up to 35 ml per feeding. Kate is on a special high-calorie formula mixed in with breast milk.

My mom is coming into town on Friday to visit. I think she will be surprised at how much they have improved in the past two weeks.
