Full day with some distress
Fairly relaxed day with the family (Alex's sister, husband and neice are staying with us) that included a trip to a local park - using the wonderful twin stroller we'd received. Greer road shotgun - while the twins cuddled in the big back seat. I arrived with mom for a short time of playing on the swings/slides with Greer. The girls sat with mom and soaked up a little sunshine.
Received visits from Susan and our Hospice nurse. Seth and Nicola stopped by with their kids and said hi. While the nurse was checking up, Quinn decided to start feeding a little - sucking for a minute or two. She also opened her eyes several times while she was pulling away on the nipple. Eleanor made a little effort - but they are still not getting much.
After dinner, we camped downstairs to watch some Star Trek - when Quinn started to register a little distress on her face. After several expressions that looked like pain, we gave her a dose of morphine that the doctor had prescribed for such an occurrence. Not long after Quinn....Eleanor began to make similar faces. We gave her a dose as well. Both are relaxed now, and sleeping in our room - along with Greer. We'll keep checking throughout the night to make sure they are comfortable.
I've posted photos of this past weekend....please check my Flicker site.
