I just got home today from staying with the boys Wednesday and Thursday night. Elijah and Emren are doing amazingly well! Today, they just graduated to the ISCU (Infant Special Care Unit) from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. They are both stable and don't need the extra attention anymore.
Elijah weighs 3lbs 13.6oz and Emren is up to 3lb 10oz. Elijah is up to his "full" feedings of straight breast milk (35mL - a little more than one ounce) every three hours and does not need any IV nutrition. That means he has one less tube going into him, which I'm sure he's grateful for. Emren will probably be to his full feed tomorrow at around 30mL - one ounce. After a couple of days, he'll be finished with his IV too. He is still needing some extra oxygen once in a while so he'll keep his nasal cannula in for a couple more days.

I was so excited to see him in clothes, even if they are a little big.
Here is Elijah in his big boy T-Shirt. He's so adorable!
