I need to catch up the last few days, so here goes...
Friday - The girls has their eyes checked again for ROP. Natalie's eyes look great. They are now between Stage 1 and 2. Abby's left eye also still looks better - Stage 2. However, now her right eye is showing some Stage 3. It wasn't concerning enough to send her back to Duke, but they will check them again in 5-7 days. I actually requested today that they check them sooner rather than later. Hopefully, they will look at them on Wednesday.
I can't remember if I posted that the girls failed their cortisone tests last week. It's not a really big deal; it just means they will continue to receive hydrocortisone in very small doses.
As of today, they have switched them from Progestimil to EleCare preemie formula. They are both pre-digested, hypoallergenic, yada, yada, formulas. The EleCare is supposed to be easier on the stomach. It also tastes better. Apparently the Progestimil is icky and changes the taste of the breast milk when mixed in. The idea is that if they like the taste better, they will take more from the bottle.
They measured the girls today. Abigail is 18 inches long now. Natalie is a bit behind at 16 1/4 inches.
Here's the run down of their weights:
