The nurse practitioner updated me with a few things this afternoon so I thought I would fill you in on the latest. The babies, of course, have been growing pretty well. Collin is now weighing in at 4lb 4oz. Anniston is weighing in at 3lb 7oz and Bailey is weighing 3lb 5oz. They all look and are very healthy.
Their was an infant screening that was done a while back and the results have come back. Collin & Bailey's both came back as normal and Anniston's results came back abnormal with something that is not serious at all. They will continue to repeat these screenings throughout the time they are here and the nurse practitioner is confident that Anniston's results will turn to normal. It will just be something that will work itself out.
The kids also had a head scan done which is normal procedure. Again, they didn't expect anything to be wrong but it is procedure. All kiddos look good. They look for bleeding on the brain, etc....
Since the last update on feeds Collin is now going up 1ml each feeding until he gets to 24ml. They are going to fortify his milk to up the calories. Anniston & Bailey are going up each feed until they get to 12mls. There has been no decision to fortify the girls milk at this time. All of them are handling the feeds very well.
I also spoke with the nurse practitioner in regards to bottle or breast feeding and what the plan is in that regard. She said that they are waiting until they are on full feeds. Collin is very close to that and will be ready in a couple of days. The girls are a couple steps behind but it won't be long. They are thinking that they may wait for all of them to be on complete feeds before they start. They will also speak to the doctor to see if he wants to start them on a bottle to see if they have their suck/swallow reflex yet or take them straight to breast feeding. I am open to whatever is best for the babies.
Well, that is a lot of information and I am sure as soon I get back there, there will be more to tell. We will definitely keep you informed.
Thanks again for everything.

Everything sounds good Kristy! They seem to have grown so much over the past week. God is so good. :) I hope you had a great day with the babies. I'm sure they enjoyed all the attention from their mama! talk to you soon.
So glad for today's report, thank you. Everything seems to sound as though it is all good and to be expected. Everyone is eating well and gaining weight, that has to be a good sign. We will pray about all the other matters and expect the outcome to be just like everything else so far...GREAT!! I love you all and am praying with you for complete healing and health. Love you Mom
Thank you so much for your great updates! We have been thinking about you a lot lately! Hope to see you again soon.

Your babies are just way too cute. Collin does look like Jason as a baby. Glad too know they are all doing ok. Hope they will be home soon. I am glad all the tests are turning out good, and that they are gaining weight. God Bless Kristy and Jason. Brenda Howard
