It's been busy around here! Sorry I haven't posted. Andrew came home last Wednesday evening and the transition has gone well. He was having some pretty apparent reflux symptoms on Friday which I called to the pediatrician and she started him on zantac 3 times a day along with 1 tsp of rice per oz of his feedings. Since these changes he hasn't been spitting up nearly as much and seems to feel better. I will take Andrew to his first pediatrician office visit tomorrow. The home health nurse came out to see Andrew and Daniel on Friday. Daniel now takes the lead on weight! Daniel is up to 5 pounds 13 ounces and Andrew is 5 pounds 12 ounces. Their weight gain has been outstanding! Colin continues to gain weight in the hospital and is now 5 pounds 6 ounces. Colin will finish all of his bottles about half of the day, but still tires on some and needs the remaining amount to be gavaged through his nasal tube. We miss Colin at home and hope he gets here soon!
