Our Family

We got to hold James today! Here's the first picture of all four of us together, although you can't actually see much of the boys. (When we're holding them, they have to stay under blankets to help maintain their body temperature.) I have James and Mike has Matthew.

As we expected, Matthew wasn't quite ready for the nasal cannula -- he was on it for an hour or so and then they switched him back to CPAP. That's okay; he's got some time to grow into it!

Unfortunately, James didn't have a "clean" intenstinal X-ray today, so we're still waiting for that. It doesn't sound like things have gotten worse and the doctor didn't seem worried, but that means they don't start the clock on the 7-10 day rest period yet. He seems like he's doing better, though, and he's been fine off the ventilator.
