James is holding steady; his blood chemistry looks pretty good and the night X-ray showed no changes for the worse (and perhaps a slight improvement over the morning). So we are still in the waiting game and they are keeping a very close eye on him, but the current signs are encouraging.
The X-ray was supposed to be done at 6 PM. The radiologists finally showed up at 8:30 PM (apparently it was a busy night, and James wasn't an emergency), and then another radiologist came back around 10 or 10:30, and said another X-ray had been ordered. Of course this scared me to death, but it turned out that they just couldn't get a good read on the first one. (When the first radiologists came in, it took them a lot longer than usual to get the X-rays -- it looked like one of them was in training, and our guess is that they made some kind of mistake with it.) So the doctors finally came in to give us the results around 11:20 PM or so. It was a long time to wait, but we figured since a team of surgeons wasn't rushing in, that it probably was at least temporarily okay.
Mattie is doing fine. And we're going to bed!

I know the waiting game way to well! I know the wait for reports can be brutally exhausting! I am standing, praying and believing in nothing but good reports for James and Mattie.
Remain positive, know that God is in control and know that worrying just does not help!
Stay strong, get rest because you will need it when they both come home in the future!
Many blessings and know that many care for you and the babies!

I am glad to hear that James is holding in there. I am thinking good thoughts for both of them.
