Wren's heart murmur has not gone away with neoprofin treatments. It sounds like it has actually stayed the same. The Doctor on shift today said that he would consult with the other doctors first, but it is likely they are going to recommend she get surgery for it. I think the surgery is pretty minor, but we're still a little nervous about that happening since she's so tiny. Wren was really opening her eyes up today and paying attention to Shannon. She still loves being swaddled and hates having her diaper changed.
Avery was also confirmed to have a fairly bad heart murmur. If she's like her sister, then taking the neoprofin may not help in which case she would end up needing surgery as well. They'll start her on the medicine first though, just in case. On the positive side, she may be able to get off phototherapy tomorrow if her bilirubin levels stay linear as they are right now.
Avery let me hold her hand today. Her hand is still so small that it won't fit all the way around your finger, but it's awesome. I know it's just reflexive, but hey, I think she likes me.
