Isabella is coming home today!!! This is, of course, as long as her hematocrit and hemoglobin are high enough...they will consider a blood transfusion on her if the levels are low. She has made great improvements by changing her oxygen levels. Instead of keeping her on a low flow of oxygen and then turning her up during feedings they have decided to keep her at a high and constant rate all the time...that has made the difference. She is gaining weight like crazy! Last time I saw her weight it was up to 6 lbs 5 oz. and that was a couple of days ago. She will be sent home on oxygen and monitors so we can be sure she will be safe. Peyton is adjusting very well to life at home. Hopefully Peyton is gaining weight as well. I would expect that the change in environment may take a small toll on him and he may not gain much for a few days. He is eating well and has been very pleasant. I'm SO excited to wrap both babies together again...last time they were together was the day they were transported back to Logan so it will be a nice reunion for them. Studies have shown that both babies thrive SO much more when they are kept next to each other...pretty cool huh?!
