As the twins see another week go by (can't believe it's gone so fast!), we have had the good news that they had their first eye tests this morning and they were normal! Their next test will be in around 2 weeks time. Click here for more information on the eye tests. This was something that we were quite worried about as it's very common for issues to be found in pre-term babies. Although they're not guaranteed to have no issues with their eyesight it's certainly a great start.
The babies had their tests first thing this morning, so in preparation they had their oxygen increased as babies don't tend to react very well to the testing procedure, however Lilian and Jacob seem to have had no issues at all and have reduced their oxygen requirement back down again. In order to let Jacob recover the decision was made that they would delay putting him back on flat CPAP. Hopefully he can go back on this tomorrow.
Other than that both Lilian and Jacob are very well, and we are very pleased indeed.
