So far all four are doing well. Still concerned with the two large yolkers. Today I removed the yolks, one was easy, no bloodflow so was a simple matter of pinching off the umbilical and cutting through the pinch point. Number four (my most worrysome baby) was the hardest, still had bloodflow in the umbilical so had to tie it off first then cut away the yolk.

#1, had a little knob at the end of the umbilical so cut that away while I was at it.


#2, cleared and retracted it's own umbilical, so far the most active


#3, Yolker


and #4, really don't know if this one will make it or not. You can see the thread tying off the end, will remove the thread tonight after it clots up better, BEFORE it gets pulled inside.


Both the yolkers are now more active now that the anchor is gone.
