Sophia’s Home!

The day is finally here.  On Thursday, Sophia got discharged from the NICU!  Over the past few days, Sophia’s feedings have improved a ton.  She’s been able to either nurse or bottle feed for a couple days in a row now without any issues.  So, that’s it.  The last item on her checklist is complete.  …

Eyes Have It

Today Sophia got another eye exam.  They’re always taxing on the kids and today was no different.  She’s been doing well over the last 24 hours, but didn’t want to eat for the two feedings after her exam. We had Cameron out on the town today.  He is feeling much better after his sniffles a …

No Feeding Tube, Take 2

I can’t believe I forgot this.   For some reason that will always be unknown to men, deciding on the “going home outfit” is quite possibly the most important decision in the world.  Like I mentioned when Cameron went home, his going home outfit was from my mom.  Again, most important thing in the world. Slightly …

All Thumbs

It’s been a busy few days.  I’m at home with Cameron 24/7.  Tanya is at home except for when she’s at the hospital taking care of Sophia.  Cameron & I hang out in our pajamas all the time.  It’s pretty awesome. Cameron’s doing great and is actually sleeping quite well.  Maybe a little too well.  …

Cameron’s Home

Tanya spent a lot of time this morning on the phone with the doctors and nurses.  When we went to sleep last night, we were pretty convinced that Sophia was going to get a blood transfusion today.  They did some more tests today that showed her red blood cell count was on the rise and …

Sleep Over

Today (December 19th) was the most time we’ve spent at the hospital in a long time – but there’s great news behind that. We’re in a full charge to get the kids home.  We started the morning by me bottle feeding both kids for the first time.  Tanya’s been doing the teaching so far, but …

Not So Fast

We definitely had our hopes up last night, but after talking with the twins’ nurse today, we knew there wasn’t a chance that Cameron would break out of the hospital today.  Still, the best info we can get is that we’re in the “could be any day” zone. Sophia did better today with eating.  She …

Launch Pad

(This is about December 17th, but I posted it on the 19th.)   Today was a big day for both kids.  They have a big pile of tests they have to pass before they can go home.  Today, they passed a few of those. When we got there, Cameron let Tanya know that he was …
