Sunday PM - Both boys were very happy today that the Longhorns defeated the Sooners. Their lucky hats had a lot to do with the victory.

The difference in having both kiddos in the same NICU and next to each other is amazing. If I haven't mentioned this before, the two NICU's are on different floors and at completely opposite ends of the hospital. Not having to go from one to the other maximizes our time spent with them. We're able to swap them back and forth with very little effort, and the photo opportunities are almost limitless. Somehow that doesn't jibe with the fact that we only got one picture today. But we'll get better if we get the chance. I say that because word came yesterday that Adam will be transferred on Tuesday of this week, barring an unforeseen hurricane or other natural disaster (seriously, that's what the doctor said). My uneducated guess is that the surgery will be done no earlier than Wedneday and no later than Friday. He's as ready as he'll ever be, weighing 2oz shy of 4lbs as of last night. He's still very feisty and still loves to be held. (I've decided that he and Grant look about as much like twins, at this stage anyway, as Danny Devito and Arnold Schwarzenegger: http://es.geocities.com/octopusmagnificens/twins.jpg See what you think.)

As of today, Grant is no longer taking milk through his NG tube. All feeds are now bottle except one per day by breast. Hopefully tomorrow the NG tube will be removed and the only things stuck to him will be the EKG and oxygen sensors. The isolette may also become a thing of the past if he continues to do well. We're trying to get ready for his discharge from the hospital, which ironically could be at or near the same time Adam has his surgery. For now we plan on staying at the apartment near the hospital until Adam is stabilized and we know what hospital he will be in and for how long.

Before I close, Heidi has asked if anyone knows of a good source for, or has any already, diaper coupons, please send them to us or email the link for online stuff. I'm not going to post our home address as this blog is public, so if you want to send us hard-copy coupons email me and I will reply with our home address.

That's it for tonight except for one last thing: O-negative blood. Donate if you can, Monday is probably the best time given the timeline.

Thanks, and goodnight.
