SCBU

My girls spent 19 days in SCBU.

They moved from the heated incubator to an open cot with a heated blanket.
They had the heated blanket removed. Came off heart monitors. Came off apnoea mats.
Moved from tube feedings to a mixture of tube feeds/breastfeeds with top ups.
Began to breastfeed exclusively during the day.

Day 16: I spent 1 night in the expressing room so I could establish breastfeeding during the night. I was supposed to do it on my own, but Josh showed up around 2am after his gig and after that, he never left our side.
We then spent 3 nights in the parents room, and had the girls in there with us as well. And the girls got their feeding tubes taken out!!!

Finally, on day 19 (Christmas Eve) we were all given permission to go home. Woohoooo!
