No news is good news...

Okay so, it's been a bit since I've updated you all on the blog.

The twins turned one month old yesterday! I can't believe it's been a month. In some ways it feels like it flew by, and in other ways it feels like it's been forever since they were born.

Ryan is doing great at home, he is now 5lbs 12oz so gaining lots :-)


Ian is also doing great. He is off all his medication except for some nystatin. He is still on fats and nutrients from an IV, but started tube feeding some of my milk early last week, then late last week they started bottling most of his feeds, and he is eating like a pro :-) He was almost a month old before having his first bottle. He is getting close to full feeds now :-) Can't wait till they can take the ng tube out, and get rid of the IV :-)
His incision isn't healing as well as we'd like - the ostomy bag is really close to his incision (couldn't be helped - he is so small) and the bag doesn't stick well to his skin, so the contents in the bag - poop- has often leaked into his incision, which is now a little infected and still not closed.
Some positive news - he is being transferred out of the stollery childrens hospital, to a different hospital  because things are going so well :-) Yay! Hopefully in a few weeks he can come home, if he gains well, and passes the car seat test, and has no other complications etc.

Here are a few sweet pictures of our boys during their daily naps together. (heart)
