Greetings.
We have reached quite a milestone today. One hundred days at the NICU and ICN. I was talking with a nurse yesterday about this milestone and we both agreed that we have fewer days left in the NICU than we have already put in. We are very hopeful then that the Day 200 update has tons of stories about Elsa and Jonas sleeping in their cribs at home!
Jonas had a great day yesterday. He lost a little of the water weight gain and was looking rather dashing. We hung out for several hours and he did great on his nasal cannula. He has also continued to be weened on his CPAP; he is now at a four pressure setting (he was at a five at the start of yesterday and a six the day before).
Elsa was good yesterday too. She did quite well at one feeding and then decided that she would rather sleep the rest of the day. Again, the final hurdle for her and coming home is that she needs to get all her feeds by mouth. She is getting there ever so slowly.
We continue to pray for Elsa and Jonas to heal and grow. Thank you for your continued support.
God Bless,
Mari & Dan & Elsa & Jonas
