Can It Be
A Year? Already! No Way!

For things going on in the Wooster family.

Learning How To Feed We’ve started down a path towards getting the girls to feed on their own. This includes Sam getting to work with the OT on some mouth exercises that we can work on. These are used to help develop the muscles and reflexes required for feeding, especially breastfeeding.
Aspen continues to show very strong signs that she wants to breastfeed. While she certainly hasn’t got it down, she will do a little sucking and is probably getting a little milk that way.Babies are making steps!
Update June 18 7:10 PM: Correct which therapies the girls are getting
IVs Out! We’ve finally gotten both girls' IVs out, including the central line for Elizabeth. They now get all of their nutrients (except for Aspen’s caffeine) via feedings. They are adding additional calories to the breast milk for a few of their daily feedings.
As you can see in the picture at the top of the post, Elizabeth has her high-flow air taken off.
