Thursday PM - Parenthood. What a concept. Last night was a tough one. It was one of those nights that only someone who has kids (and you know who you are) can understand. Grant had chronic gas pains or colic or both, or something, but what we had was a sleepless night. We've been told he's just about the right age to have these issues, so I guess we'll just work our way through it. On the up side he now weighs 9 1/2 lbs, and shows no sign of turning back. Even when he has a bad night, we're completely "eat up with him." For those who don't know what that means, email me and I'll explain.

Since the last post Adam has not been doing quite as well. He's lost a few ounces, but still weighs just over 5 1/2 lbs. His breathing is fast at times due to his heart condition, and that interferes with his ability to take his food by mouth. They have gone to straight tube feeding through the tube in his nose. The good news is that he's completely off IV fluids and feeding, and all the IV tubes are gone. His liver functions have improved as a result. The cardiologists will discuss his case and present it to the cardiac surgeons early next week to determine when to do his surgery. He's taken many steps forward but this is probably a step or two back. Such is the life of a premie.

I have some more pictures to upload, but not sure when I can get to them. Keep checking and keep us all in your thoughts and prayers...
