Both girls are now receiving breast milk! Apparently, the antibiotics immediately knocked out the infection that was trying to develop in Madeline. She is still calm and content in her new, little environment, and resting much more peacefully. Cadie is still free of the bilirubin light and there is an order to move her in to an isolette once one becomes available, specifically one that has a built in scale so they don't have to move her every time she is weighed. Apparently, though, those isolettes are in pretty high demand. They are both still doing well on CPAP and their vital signs are excellent. We are so blessed by and pleased with how well they are doing. It is amazing how strong and resilient preemies can be. They are definitely fighters.
Today we were able to share a very special moment with Cadence. As soon as we arrived I started talking to her to let her know we were there. Immediately, her eyes started fluttering, and then she opened them and looked right at me. We have seen her eyes open several times, but this was the first time we made eye contact. It took every ounce of my strength not to pick her up right then and there.
