When you need a little smack of Glim

Baby news…Saturday April 24 8:00 pm

April 24th, 2010 by Terri

Spent all day at hospital. Good day. Early yesterday the docs discussed with us the possible need for Harrison to be put on feeding tube. He’s kinda traded places with Hayden on the feeding issue…upping food intake is wearing him out and he’s possibly burning more calories than taking in. He’s asleep most of the time I see him. Today docs said he’s doing much better. We witnessed this firsthand; he was wide awake for the longest period I have ever seen him and he ate much better than our previous feedings. He was responding to my voice better than ever before, looking directly at me, and holding his head up and looking all around the room while doing burps. It was fabulous.  Like everything else, if it doesn’t continue this well, things may change….we are taking things one day at a time. He’s still in fishbowl to stay warm..takes too much energy to keep self warm so they are giving him some time.

Hayden doing well today too. Eating like a champ and very, very alert and active. He’s doing well outside of his fishbowl bed. During our switching around with babies, we were able to put babies in front of each other and show them to each other for the first time.  They weren’t much interested in each other. Not sure what we expected, but somehow I figured they would be excited to see each other, haha!

Special thank you shout-out to Lindy for the baby brushes…..boys had their hair brushed for the first time today. They looked super cute with their hair parted on one side :) I’ll get pic tomorrow of it.

Jason and I are doing well. Yesterday was hard thinking about the feeding tube issue, but today was much better. We got plenty of sleep last night and feel better today. Jason finished up his class and feels like one major load has come off of his shoulders. Aunt Cindy is making us some more homemade flour tortillas so things are looking great :)

Going to feed dogs, shower, and go watch TV in bed. We’ll be at hospital all day tomorrow. Talk soon, and love to all.
