Thursdsay PM - Today I had to tear myself away from the hospital as life goes on outside. I believe this was the first day since they were born that I didn't visit with the boys. The reasons for this are boring and not worth mentioning here, but Heidi was more than able to take up the slack. She was able to hold both of them for about 45 minutes and they both were having a good day. Well mostly a good day except when Grant barfed his milk. No one seemed concerned except for having to cut off his t-shirt that was soaked. OK, I promise no more "baby threw up" stories as this is and will likely be a common occurrence.

One of the many amazing things about the hospital is the "division of labor" within the ranks. Two of the more intersting jobs are lactation specialist and child development specialist. Lactation specialist is pretty self-explanatory. Child development specialist is also but entails a wider range of duties. These specialists, among other things, monitor each baby in the NICU for proper physical development. Thankfully, this includes correcting the dreaded condition known as "toaster head". Grant now has a roll that goes around his head to keep him from lying on his side.

Adam passed all of his tests today, but there was a slight disagreement between the radiologist and the neonatologist about his abdominal x-ray. The neo thought everything looked fine and that Adam looked fine, but the radiologist said there may have been somthing that should be watched. So one more day before he gets to take milk as the neo wants to play it safe, though she did not agree with the radiologist.

I hope to have more pictures posted this Saturday afternoon. Until next time...
