That's so great! And surprising too! Archer was apparently not down with the 'wimpy white boy' label. (Are they Caucasian?)

Lara is full asian and Archer is half white/half asian.

Oh interesting! I think asian babies fall somewhere between hispanic and white babies in the NICU. Archer is just proving the saying wrong is all =)

today i went and saw my surrotwins and IF at the NICU.

W was doing kangaroo care with lara when i arrived. he had a huge scare with her just before i got there. her oxygen saturation went down to 19 (it should be between 85-95).   she was on the CPAP, but had to go to the SiPap because she needed a little more help with her breathing. we do hope that things get more stable soon with her. she is on continuous feeds, as they are hoping that she will start putting weight on more rapidly. she is hanging around a kilo and seems to have plateaued.

archer is on high flow oxygen and the doctors are pleased with his progress. he is a little chunky monkey. he has started to suck on a pacifier. W says that they dip it in a little bit of breastmilk before hand and he seems to enjoy it.

both babies are getting physical therapy now to work on their reflexes and back strength. even though they have come so far, there is still a long journey ahead. please keep them in your thoughts and prayers and thanks for all that have been sent their way already.

sounds like they are doing pretty good, minus the scare, I hope they can get Lara to gain some weight, are they strictly on Breastmilk? or are they supplementing them also?

right now they are getting only breastmilk, but a fortifier is added to it. they are thinking of mixing lara's with formula to see if that helps.
