Wren continues to do well. Cindy (one of our RNs) told me that last night was great for her, and that her oxygen is now down to 26%, which is great. Some time today, she ended up grabbing her breathing tube and yanking on it, and it came all the way out. The nurses of course took care of her immediately and helped her breathe momentarily on CPAP. She was doing so well on the CPAP when this happened, that had our normal neonatologists been around, they probably would have determined to just leave her on it, but our doctors are out on a retreat this weekend and the fill-in doctors did not want to implement any significant changes while the regulars were gone, so they had her reintubated with a slightly larger tube. The good news is they now no, by accident, that she will do very well on CPAP, so hopefully they will be able to continue with that plan on Monday.
Avery is still about where she was, at 36% oxygen and maintaining about the same status.
In other news, Shannon and I both came down with a head cold and so weren't able to go in and see the babies today.

Just so you know, I still check this everyday. But I'm so glad they are doing well. I'm starting to sleep better at night. I hope you are as well.
