Grandpa

The boys got to meet their Grandpa Green today! Mattie liked having Grandpa rock him. And Jamesie got to sit with his daddy.

James's feeding progress has been a bit of a mixed bag today; he's been having some residuals (milk that's still in his stomach at the next three-hour feeding), but the doctors don't seem particularly concerned. (They typically just put the residuals back in; apparently the "clean plate club" starts in the NICU.) Sometimes it takes a little time to get the digestive system going again. It's nerve-wracking for us (because we don't want him to get sick again), but he doesn't seem to be bothered.

Great pictures! Is it just me or does James look a whole lot pinker since his surgery?

Thanks! I think James does usually look a bit pinker now -- although he's also getting a touch of jaundice again (from being on fluids so long), so it's sometimes hard to tell.
