The best laid plans...

Well, some times the best laid plans don't pan out. Katie, the doctor and I made the decision yesterday to extend Claire and Matt's stay in the hospital. We all were not comfortable with their current progress and were concerned that they might be coming home too soon.

Matt continues to have these Brady's episodes and he failed the car seat test this week meaning that he had a Brady when they put him in the car seat. We do have him on a portable monitor, which we got yesterday, in case he did come home. He eats like a maniac and doing well otherwise but he still has not out grown these Brady's.

Claire has been Brady-free, we think, for the past several days, which is great. She passed her car seat test this week. But she is having an awful time getting down the process of eating and breathing at the same time. She will suck on that bottle and just stop breathing, concentrating only on eating and not on breathing. Her lips and her face just turn blue, no exaggeration. When I saw this first hand yesterday, I was like, "ummm, no way".

Having three premature infants at home is going to be tough enough, but to add on the fact that two are still having health issues; its just too much. We are evaluating their progress on a daily basis now to see how things look.

Drew is doing great. He is growing, grunting, moaning and groaning his little head off! We gave him a bath last week, here is a quick picture from our bath experience!




Katie and I are hanging in there, there is a ton of juggling going on right now in the household, we'll have our own set of juggling issues when they are all home but having them split up and making sure we are doing what we need to for all of them right now is tough. We'll make it!

I'll continue to update the blog as I have more information regarding Matt and Claire making their appearance in Lantana! Hope everyone is doing well! Till next time!

Love,

Todd, Katie, Drew, Matt and Claire!
