The hospital has some volunteers that go around and take pictures of the babies and help parents make cards or other scrapbooking things. We missed the signup for Wednesday, so requested that they come by this coming Monday. Rafa had other plans. He pulled out his feeding tube, so when our nurse saw the photographers, she asked them to come by and snap his photo while his tube was out. The photographer felt bad only taking pics of Rafa, so she took some of Sylvia, too. She got some great shots. Here are a few of our faves.

Both kids ate like champs last night. So well that the nurse left us a note, she was so excited about their feeds. So, the nurse practitioner has decided to try taking out their feeding tubes and see how they do feeding by mouth exclusively and see if that helps Rafa's apnea & bradycardia (the breathing/heart problem that he has to avoid for 5-7 days before going home, aka As & Bs). The feeding tube could be increasing his reflux, which leads to the As & Bs, so here's hoping that that gets better. Unfortunately, he had another one this morning at 5am, he resolved on his own, just with the light being turned on, but we're in for another 5-7 days. Hopefully, taking out the feeding tube will do the trick.
