Update June 30 6:20 PM: Add Bloody Stool section
Bottles We’re getting closer to having at least Aspen taking a bottle. Per Sam’s visit this morning she only needs to do another few good binkie trainer sessions before we get to work on bottle feeding. This is another huge step forward for her. Elizabeth seems to be a little behind Aspen, but is also doing pretty well. We’ll have to wait and see if she’ll ever take breastmilk, though.
Gap We’ve been working on projects the last few days and there hasn’t been a lot to report on the girls. These are things that may keep us from having a truly daily update schedule on this blog. See Extra Bits below for information on staying up to date.
Elizabeth’s Gut Issues We’ve had some more issues with Elizabeth. A couple of times over the last few days she’s had more blood in her stool.
Training Elizabeth has now gotten back up to the same quantity of food as she was before her scare. They’ll now start adding extra concentrate to the formula to get her calories up a little more. She had a good day so we got to try the binkie trainer with her last night (see above). She did a good job keeping it in her mouth and even doing some sucking, but not really enough to pull any milk from the syringe.
