To give or not to give...

So the doctors today decided to give the girls Decadron which basically will help there lungs by decreasing the inflammation and swelling.  Being on the ventilators for a long time causes infections and soarness etc.. so hopefully the decadron will help them come off faster. The decadron isn't without its side effects though so it wasn't a light decision to put them on it. I guess the biggest thing is it will slow down there brain development and size. They said they will do just 3 doses to minimize this.

Sofira did lose quite  a bit of weight today shes down to 1160g.
