All in the Timing

I'm glad to say that the most exciting news from this afternoon is that, not wishing to let his brother have all the glory, James also peed through his diaper and was promoted to the newborn size. He's still rather puffy, so we hope he keeps up this good work.

This evening he started having a few more arrhythmias after most of the day without them. We're a little disappointed that they've returned, but the doctors still aren't worried, and think it will probably work itself out as he keeps feeling better and his potassium levels slowly get back to normal.

Matthew demonstrated his excellent timing today. Having learned my lesson from past experience, I had a cloth covering him up during the diaper change, except for the moment I removed it to wipe him -- so he picked that exact moment to pee! I got the cloth back on, but not before he christened the foot of his cute little outfit.

Matthew is also doing great on his cannula; they changed the time from three to six hours today, and since he did so well with it, he's actually been on it even longer than that. (And he had a great big poop after not pooping for a day or so -- once again we're celebrating excrement!)
