Day of Rest

Drake and Kennedy have both had a long day of rest to recover from their immunization shots. Slight temperatures were expected so they have both been given Tylenol. If all goes well tomorrow morning with their labs and blood tests, they will be moved to cannulas. I can't believe they might both be ready! Kennedy is definitely ready because she has been trying her best to get out of her CPAP. Even though her arms are swaddled, she wiggles, squirms and turns her head to get the prongs out of her nose. She has also figured out how to use her tongue to get her feeding tube out of her mouth.

Drake has reached 4#! He is not far behind Kennedy who weighed in at 4# 2.7oz. They are getting so big! It is wonderful to see chunky little cheeks!

  1. Praying all blood work and tests comes back as desired and thank you God for putting them on cannula :) Thank you for taking care of Drake and Kennedy, healing them so they can leave the NICU and enter the real world and thank you for having their lives touch so many more in the years to come, making such a huge difference in this world :)

    Have an awesome week ahead Gilstrap family... welcome to a great week ahead for all of you!

    :)

  3. They both look ready to get those cpaps outta their noses! Drakes lil boxing pose says it all: "bring on the next challenge! Me and sissy got this!"

    God is awesome and mighty. What a blessing to see these sweet peas get chunkier and chunkier--thanks for sharing--I love seeing them grow and conquer each day!

    May Gods light, love, power and presence continue to surround you all. Praying continuously!
