Corbin is now getting 28 mL's and Quinn is getting 26 mL's, both through their NG tubes (feeding tubes through their noses). Corbin got a blood transfusion today because some of his lab results were low. This is typical for preemies until they can produce enough red blood cells on their own. Their caffeine doses were doubled today since they have gained weight. The caffeine helps them maintain breathing by keeping them from entering a deep sleep and forgetting to breathe.
Mom and Dad got to hold the boys tonight and they put them side by side to compare their faces up close. They seem to have similar mouths and chins, but their noses and eyes are definitely different.
Hopefully things keep chugging along and they continue eating and getting stronger!

Mike and Hillary,
I am so glad that the twins are progressing. I actually just found out that you had had them. What precious little miracles you have. They seem to be doing very well and progressing at a steady pace. They are adorable! We are praying for all of you. May the Lord give you strength and keep the boys healthy and safe.
