Making Steps forward

Well a lot of good news today.... We went into the NICU this morning and found a lot of surprises. We first walked into the room with Declan and Emma. The staff told us that Declan is about ready to come off the extra oxygen and will go down to just a little bit and hopefully start taking breast milk by tomorrow. We then turned our head to Emma and found her wearing a shirt! Now some of you may not think this is a big deal.. but being a baby dressed in the the NICU is huge... Along with the shirt she no longer has an IV in, she is taking feeding by mouth as oppose to the feeding tube and she is breathing with no extra oxygen what so ever!!!!
Of course it even got better when we went into see Ruari. She is no longer on CPAP! She still is using a little extra oxygen but she too is now getting breast milk by a feeding tube!

The day kept getting better as we were able to spend a lot of time with Ruari and Emma...

Hopefully by the start of the week we will be able to add Mr Declan in the mix as we are all missing cuddle time with our little boy.


Enjoy the photos... Oh and the last part of good news, Amber is going home tomorrow...! If Bailey and Ruby could read this would be their favorite part!
