Saturday

James is doing well -- no fever last night or today, just an occasional dry cough, and he's still eating well (60 ml from his bottle this morning). So, those are all encouraging signs. And we were also happy to hear that (according to his nurse) no other babies in the NICU have shown fever or flu symptoms.

Matthew is also doing fine; no fever or signs of illness. He is all set to cheer on the Buckeyes today.

To be on the safe side, we decided not to go into the hospital today. For now, even with the isolation room precautions, we don't want to risk bringing home germs to Mattie, or if we're flu carriers (despite not having symptoms), we don't want to risk spreading it at the NICU. (But I miss my little Jamesie! He probably needs extra cuddling since he might not be getting much in the isolation room.)

We are glad to hear James is feeling better and we will continue to pray for good health!

Although Mattie looks adorable in the red and gray, I still believe he would look outstanding in gold and blue! I may have moved to Ohio but by veins will always bleed blue and gold!
