I want to thank everyone for their prayers and kind words. Ian is now 9 days old and doing very, very well. We've even got to hold him a few times. If I remember correctly, it was almost two weeks before we could get the twins out to hold. Missy got Ian out the morning after delivery.
Ian is taking 9cc's of milk every 3 hours and although he lost a couple of ounces, which is absolutely normal, he is now back up to 3 lbs. 2 ounces. He is holding his temperature well and is only on a very small amount of oxygen. Basically it's just blowing a little bit up his nose. He had a bought with jaundice, which is again normal. He still has a little magnesium in his system from when they gave it to Missy. It's coming down at a steady pace.
Missy is doing well and hasn't had any more headaches due to her blood pressure. She still gets pretty worn out though and will still have to take it easy for a while. One thing she's proud of, between when they admitted her on Friday and when they released her on the following Friday, she lost 25 pounds!
