chugging along

So far, so good. Graham has not had an episode of apnea since 7pm Aug 15! (thank goodness!!) The boys have been able to maintain their body temperatures on their own for a couple of days now. Co-bedding has been the most wonderful thing for them. They've gained weight, slept more soundly, and been overall happier babies since they've been snuggled in together.

Doc says we can most likely go home Friday! Boys are getting their hearing tests, circumcisions, car seat test, pictures taken and footprints made today and tomorrow. So long as Graham does not have any apnea, we are most likely homeward bound day after tomorrow!

This experience has proven very educational. The NICU here in Tupelo is a great learning hospital. We have taken an infant CPR class, have a newborn care class later today, have met with two different lactation specialists, and the doctors and nurses have really taken time to show us how and why things are done. We have learned so many good tips on caring for these little guys. The doctors and nurses here really try to build relationships with you. They are sending us home feeling far more confident in caring for these guys than we were when we got here.

Love and prayers.
