Luke - Two Days Old


Lauren - Two Days Old

Tonight Luke & Lauren were transitioned from the NICU to the special care nursery on the 7th floor, which is a HUGE step toward coming home.  We were told that tonight they will be moved to cribs and their IVs are being removed.  Each of them took bottles well today.  We have not been given a discharge date for the twins, but it will likely be a week or two.

Today Missy transitioned from a Heparin IV drip to Lovenox injections.  When that transition is complete, we will be discharged.  We've not discussed this with her doctor, but we anticipate that Tuesday we will be able to go home.  

We really appreciate the flowers, cards, emails, and visits from friends and family.  They have really helped us get through this tough time.  We feel fortunate to be cared for by so many people.
