Not to be confused with one step forward, two steps back.
Kate attempted and succeeded in feeding the kids simultaneously this morning. They did so well that they didn't need to be "topped up" with the tube-feeding (also for the first time). We went back for the next feed 3 hours later, hoping to duplicate this effort. The kids were still passed out when we arrived, and never really woke up despite various creative efforts. So we went back to tube-feeding for that round (assisted by my folks, as pictured above). But, definitely making progress. The kids will likely stay in hospital until the tube-feeding is eliminated and they're growing on breast milk alone. All the doctors/nurses seem very impressed with their rapid improvement.
