I used to be an NI...oooo- I hate no it all nurses!! I used to be an NICU nurse- and I have worked with ones that have 'just a job'. I wish those nurses would go to wal-mart for <br />'a job'. Does that NICU do care teams or do nurses take primaries? Meaning whenever they come in they have certain babies. I know at the two NICUs I worked at that was the unwritten protocol if parents requested it. We didn't assign all babies primaries or that would be a staffing assignment nightmare, but they would on parent request.<br /><br />YES- the babies DO tend digest better on their tummies at this time. They should be on their tummies a lot- we would make babies back/side only when they graduated to open cribs/bassinettes. But I do believe I am preaching to the choir here. :) I think you are wonderfully educated and aware as a parent. I am proud of you. <br /><br />It is not unheard of to have a baby go from CPAP to room air/no cannula. I have had babies on 21% oxygen(room air), but just with a little pressure support. Need for pressure doesn't equate need for oxygen. ARGH! Sorry, soapbox.<br /><br />I will step back down off of it. I am SO excited your babies are doing so well! I pray for you all often.ME!https://www.blogger.com/profile/04165329812645814943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-76442003730104570512009-09-24T09:47:16.592-04:002009-09-24T09:47:16.592-04:00So happy to hear your beautiful babies are doing s...So happy to hear your beautiful babies are doing so well!

Caelan was besotted with his right up until he was three. Jordan had hers with her everyday of her life.<br /><br />Little things like that will be a big deal later on. I'd love to see a pic of them with theirs.Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17663682329663202706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809677799536184324.post-40824235071698002972009-09-23T19:14:36.149-04:002009-09-23T19:14:36.149-04:00I'm warmed by how wonderfully your little ones...I'm warmed by how wonderfully your little ones are doing!

I could not be happier for you - there is no one more deserving of a perfect ending. I know times are still tough but what a miracle story so far! I hope the good news keeps coming. Congratulations.

I just wanted to tell you how excited I am everyday I get on here and see a positive report on the babies. They truly are miracles! I have been praying for your family and will continue to pray for your speedy recover and the growth of your children!

I think it will bring them back to the closeness they had in the womb. I think they will like it. Those snugglies sound wonderful. What a smart idea. Have a nice tap.<br />Enjoy your dinner and your time with the kids tonight.
