All of the babies have been back and forth on spell watches. Sammy has made it to day 2, 4, and 3, and is currently on day 1. Danny has made it to day 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, and is currently on day 0 . Elsie has made it to day 3, 4, 1, and is currently on day 3.

Even though it seems like they are all over the place with the spell watches, I think we may have turned a corner. Danny and Elsie are doing well on their reflux meds and have now added rice to their breast milk. This has definitely helped with the amount of spitting the two of them were doing, and most of their spells happened during spits. Most of Sammy's spells revolves around bearing down and pooping, so a daily dose of prune juice has helped him out , and we are seeing good results the last two days.

There was talk this week about letting the babies come home on monitors. I remain hopeful that this will not be the case, since we are told that they are very sensitive and go off frequently and unnecessarily.

The way I look at it is to have perspective that we are only at 42 weeks gestational age, and we have come a long way to get here. All of the babies are of feeding tubes, they don't require any oxygen, all the surgeries are done, life is good even if we are still in the NICU. A week or two in the grand scheme of things is nothing to fret over. Before you know it all three babies will be home and our house will be busy and chaotic.

So here's to keeping our fingers crossed that our babies will be home soon :-)
