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 …

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 …

One Million Dollars

(This post is about December 14th, but I wrote it on December 18th.)   The twins are 5 weeks old today, so this starts their 6th week in the hospital.  They now weigh about 50% more than when they were born.  They look like giants compared to their old selves.  They’re still decidedly not giants …
