It's really hard to top a day like yesterday. The girls had to be separated because they were being stinkers and were pulling leads and tubes off of each other, but it was really cool seeing them together. Stella had to go back on the nose respirator because she had a few little episodes and they didn't want to wear her down too much. Emerson was upgraded to the nose respirator and did well for a few hours and then decided she wanted to go back on the chest tube vent. Emerson also needs to have some antibiotics for a possible infection so they had to put an IV back in. However, as you can tell in the picture, they couldn't get any veins in her arms or legs to take the IV, so they had to put it in her forehead! It's kind of weird looking but apparently it's pretty common practice. Other than that the girls are doing well and both weigh a little over 1lb 13 oz, so they're definitely gaining. Keep praying for our little girls!!
