Zeke had an eye exam today and his eyes are fully vascularized! This is great news as it means his eyes are "normal" and he will not need any more eye exams in the hospital. It is ironic to us that this happened on the same day our older boy Nathan had his first eye exam and has 20/100 vision, necessitating glasses.
Both Gabe and Zeke are doing much better at nursing as well. They get measured before and after and for the last two days Zeke has gotten as much as 22mL in one feeding. This is only about a third of a normal tube feeding, but it is huge progress. Gabe got about 14mL today and set a personal record.
Wahoo, go babies! And as for Nathan, I'd love to hear about his reaction to the glasses, when he can see a little better. I bet he'll be stoked. (Plus, I'd bet he'll look quite handsome in them, too.)
