I feel so blessed to have such prayer warriors in my corner! My emotions have been great today...just need to get over this c-section now!
Boys...I LOVE LOVE the idea of praying for one each day. I believe that God can do anything and he already has bc the nurses and staff are constantly amazed that I made it so long, that they are so big, and that they are so healthy. All ways that I am able to point it all back to Him bc I did nothing!!
Here are the qualifications for going home:
1. At least 4.10 lbs.
2. Breathing on own w/out any oxygen or flow. Flow is just the air we are breathing given to them via a cannula. Oxygen would be added oxygen.
3. Holding own body temp w/out any help.
4. Taking all food from bottle within 15-30 min. Suck, swallow, breathe.
Here is where each boy is...in birth order
Micah
1. 4lbs 3 oz
2. No added oxygen very low flow.
3. Still incubated but maintaining good body temp inside the incubator.
4. Still to young to take a bottle. They will try at 34 weeks which will officially be Friday. So hopefully some time next week he is learning how to bottle feed.
Jeremiah
1. 3lb 11oz
2. No added oxygen and came off of flow this evening.
3 & 4. Same as Micah
Special request: This little guy has an undescended testicle which apparently occurs with many preemies. Most drop on their own. So, we are praying that just that happens so that he does not need surgery.
Noah
1.4lbs 5oz
2. No added oxygen and very low flow.
3 & 4.Same has Jeremiah
Overall we pray that their organs continue to develop strong and healthy and that they get no infections. They have such weak immunity that it is super easy for them to get an infection which can obviously do a lot of damage.
I am not sure if that all made sense or not. Let me know what I can clear up. Thank you so much for praying! God is in control!
