Our 3 little ones continue to do well. They are each presenting different personalities already. Chloe is our little screamer and she does not like her IV, she continues to kick them out or pull them out. She is doing the best with her oxygen and breathing. Carter is doing great too, he seems to be pretty mellow. He is now on the highest amount of oxygen and seems to be enjoying it at that level. Cooper has periods where he remains quite calm and then he can change so quickly. Cooper has periods where he breaths very fast and then slows down, so they are watching him closely. He still has not pooped, so hopefully things will progress soon. His bilirubin level came back elevated today, so he was started in the Bili light. He seems to feel pretty content and cozy warm under there. They expect the other two to go under the Bili light tomorrow as their levels have continued to rise. I am afraid all of them had to get new IV's today as they all went bad, and they are pretty tough sticks, so that was hard to see them go through that today. It's amazing, I have never had problems starting IV's on other children, but when it came to my own it was very sad to see.
I am expected to be discharged in the morning, it will be hard to leave our little ones, but we know they are in a great place getting great care. I am sad to say their older brother developed a fever today, so he will be banned from the NICU for a little while. He had a great time at his school's Fall Festival today - Vovo was able take him to play and get lots of candy. We will continue to give updates with any new changes - please continue to pray for them, to continue their strength within the NICU.

I'm glad to hear Jackson got to see them before getting a fever and that the babies are doing good. Let me know if you need anything.
