Blake is going really well and now on full feed amounts (though still on continuous). He will stay at 14 mls for a few days and then we will start the process of switching him to two hourly feeds. Today was the second day in a row that he lost weight but no one has said anything to me about it so I guess it's no real issue. He is now pooing and weeing like he should so YIPPEE!!
Max is still not really digesting all that well but they are pushing him a little now. They have decided to stop aspirating and just keep a close eye on him. He is on 4ml per hour continuous and going up to 5ml during the night tonight. They have been giving him suppositories to make sure that he doesn't get bloated from being "backed up" and they are just watching his tummy to make sure it doesn't get distended. Fingers crossed for him! We are hoping he can catch up to his brother over the next few days.
This photo was taken tonight. It is only the third time we have had them out together and the first photo we have of all four of us together :)
