Sunday Update

  • Benson came to visit
  • Leslie is set to be released tomorrow (Monday).
  • Babies will be in the hospital a while longer.
  • All the nurses comment what a good size they are for being triplets.
  • Babies are all holding their own (except Mason - the smallest).
  • Mason is just fine.  He still has the feeding tube, but does take the bottle.
  • He is just sometimes too sleepy to suck, so they have been doing some feeding by the NG tube.
  • Babies are in the NICU, but not the most intensive part of the NICU.  So, 1 nurse assigned to all 3 babies, not 1 nurse to 1 baby like in the beginning...
Thomas  .  Leslie  .  Benson


Criteria for the babies to come home:
 
1.  They have to be gaining weight (they are still losing weight).  They expect them to lose 10% of their birth weight...
2.  They have to accept the bottle or breast - no NG tube.
3.  Have to fit in their car seat (4 pound minimum weight of baby).
