Greetings.
As the title line indicates, Elsa is now a proud member of floor three intermediate care nursery. We were astonished to hear that she was in fact ready to move up to the quieter confines of floor three. Mari was with her as she was wheeled up to her new home in the ICN. Quite exciting. She is on full-time nasal cannula, staggered feeding to simulate normal eating, and, gosh, just doing great. Elsa was able to be held several times today and the nurse indicated that they were starting the slow ween of temperature in the isolette to prepare her for a...crib! Wow! She weighed in at 1620 grams today.
Jonas is also having a good couple of days. He is still on CPAP and holding steady. The doctors may start weening him on CPAP gradually--much in the same way they did with Elsa last week. He is handling his continuous feed well and is quite a producer of full diapers. Jonas was also 1620 grams today (they must be twins!).
We pray for continued healing for both Elsa and Jonas. We pray that their bodies continue to heal and grow in the days and weeks ahead.
God Bless,
Dan & Mari & Jonas & Elsa
